Yesterday I got confirmation that I was able to shoot Cage The Elephant at The Plaza Live in Orlando. I wasn't expecting to hear back from them in all honesty because I emailed them a little while back so I was surprised but I was excited. I decided I wanted to do something different for this show and mix things up instead of sticking to my 50mm set up so I looked up renting lenses and I found a place called the Lens Depot that was 15 minutes away from where I live and I could do in-store pick up in time for the show that night. I decided on the 24-70mm f/2.8 and I couldn't have made a better decision, I loved having more range and it was an overall good lens and relative to the cost of the lens, renting it was a good, more affordable option.

Bear Hands was the opening act and then Cage the Elephant came on, and the show was sold out. I got a big sticker photo pass that I stuck to my shirt and could enter the photo pit with which was a nice decent size considering there were 6 other photographers, which is double the number that I have shot with before. This venue was larger and had an upstairs balcony which I shot from and with the 24-70mm I was able to get some cool shots.

All in all it was a pretty good night and I'm excited to keep shooting and learning and meeting new people!
