Maynard Business Alliance Concert #3

The third and final free Spring concert sponsored by the Maynard Business Alliance was held on Saturday, May 19th.   The bands were invited with the theme of playing their own music as well as covers.   There were 5 or 6 bands playing — I arrived a bit late so only the last four are featured here (sorry…)

I shot a little video of each band and hope to have that up later in the week… (too much happening today).   A more complete set of images from the concert can be found at: http://community.dmg-photography.com

This is “Redfish Bluefish” from Acton.   Normally they are a 4-piece band but they opted to do an acoustic set.




Next up was “Black Tea Project” from Harvard, MA.




Followed by “Mojoceratops”, a instrumental band from Boston.




And the afternoon was capped by local jazz band “Soul Custody”.

Maynard Business Alliance Concert #2

The Maynard Business Alliance, which as you might guess from its name, works to promote business in Maynard.  A big focus of the group is making our downtown a destination for people – particularly those outside of Maynard.   The MBA is sponsoring three free concerts in May, held on Saturday afternoon.   The third and final concert is May 19th from 4-6pm — come listen!

Girl Scouts Celebrate their 100th Anniversary

Girl Scouting in the United States started 100 years ago in 1912.  Just a few years later the first Girl Scout troop in Maynard was formed.  Several hundred Maynard Girl Scouts, past and present, gathered at Alumni Field to recite the Girl Scout Promise at 7:12pm  (19:12…  very clever girl scouts…)

My son, Jay, was kind enough to be a second shooter on this event.  His photos have camera id 580, mine are from 491. I also had a wide-angle shot up on the press box with an intervalometer taking an shot every 10 seconds. These shots were assembled into a time-lapse movie of the event (see below).

Technical: Jay had the 7D with a 24-70mm on a monopod.   I was shooting with a 40D, 70-200mm f/2.8 IS handheld.  The time-lapse was done with a 5DMk2 on sticks with a 16-35mm f/2.8 and an intervalometer.  I set the 5D to automatic exposure using a spot meter aimed at the grass in the center of the field, which gave a pretty good constant medium tone.   Photos processed with Lightroom 4 — mostly minor exposure tweaks.  The video frames were exported from Lightroom 4, imported into Final Cut Pro X  (which crashed my computer twice adding the titles — yikes!).
