The Parting Glass

After the regular show was over, Michael and Heather came out into the audience, stood up on chairs, and had one more special treat. Michael, honoring his Irish heritage, sang "The Parting Glass" totally without the PA. It was a very touching moment. Fortunately, they were right next to us. The stage manager had come out with them, and held up a little LED flashlight. But since they didn't turn on the houselights, that was pretty much it. The combination of the E-M5 and the Panasonic 20/1.7 somehow managed to pull a usable image out of what was really just darkness. This image is processed in Silver Efex Pro, and I think the high-contrast treatment gets close to the feeling of the original scene. Olympus E-M5, Panasonic 20/1.7
