Fête de la Musique, France

It's a tradition in France since more than 20 years, that on the 21st of June, amateur bands go out into town to perform. While wandering about, you'll find groups everywhere, a great night to go out!

You captured the bands well and it makes me wish I was there!

I like them. In shot #7 the girl with the beer looks like my sister-in-law!

Awesome, what a fun tradition! Quite nice pictures you captured of it, too. Very bright and sharp.

I guess Thomas is getting the most out of that CZ.

Interesting and very good 'newsy' photos Bossel.

Thanks for your comments! And yes, I did use the CZ16-80. The pics are in-camera jpg, cropped and a sharpened after scaling down.

The CZ might see some less use in the next few days - remember the cashback I mentioned recently, and that I sold lots of 'old' stuff? Put it all together and it was enough to fund a 70-400G, which I got yesterday Just waiting for my new backpack now, that lens is huge and it doesn't fit into any of my bags.

That is certainly a cool tradition Thomas - and congratulations on the new lens Looking forwad to some 70-400 pics as well!

Nothing like a new lens to get the juices flowing.
Best of luck and post images as soon as possible.

Goodness Thomas, you're putting together a really nice outfit!

[Dusty]

Hey, Thomas! You have to let the rest of us know how you've talked the wife into letting you spend so much on lenses.

Mine screams if I guy lens cleaner!
