On October 16th, 2009 at Church of the Open Door in Maple Grove, MN Joel Hanson released a new CD. These images are from the “What if it is” release concert. Special Guest was The Least Of These. Not knowing what to expect from the Least Of These I was truly impressed and hope to hear more from these three in the future. Keep your eye on them.
Joel’s concert was excellent, loved the new songs and enjoyed hearing the old. The new CD is great and for me seems to be his best work yet. Each song is a gem. You get your face rocked off with Sing Your Name and feel the weight of a hard goodbye in Julie’s Song, it is an amazing journey of words and music. Get it!
I shot this concert using both of my cameras (Canon 40D and 5D and made use of two lenses, a Canon 135mm f2.0 L and a Canon 50mm f1.4). The spot on Joel most of the time was really tough to work around to have images that were properly exposed without Joel being blown out… (I mean I wanted to show the band as well as him).
Hope you enjoy the shots. The complete set is available at this link.
