RE: Music photos from 6 billion ways conference

I've just ordered a Canon 85mm 1.8 prime lens. Any feedback?

Some of these are blurry because they were shot at a low shutter speed
but the fact that they're sharp at all is a testament to drinking while
taking photos. I was shooting at a tenth the required shutter speed -
some are at 1/20s instead of 1/350s - but had about 6-8 pints by the
time the live music was on. The technique is to firmly support the lens
with one hand, find any form of support around and shoot on continuous
shoot once an image has been composed. It's still very hard but the beer
helps to steady the hand as well as Image Stabilisation technology. It
takes a lot of luck too.
