| Start the U2 concert at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome October 8, 2010 |
apparently illogical from the juxtaposition between U2 and the Leica but I write this "article" to bring the experience of using a digital Leica M to a concert that involved 75,000 spectators.
Needless to say, because the concert was beautiful and exciting, you can own mind (but only idea ..) looking this video. Since the longer focal length is 135mm for the M9 (which I have and I'll never have), is not the best camera to photograph a concert . Because the decibel pulled from the crates are infinitely higher than any shutter is not necessary to have a silent machine . But it is without doubt the machine that goes unnoticed most , none of the audience next to me, " took seriously the M9 as a camera . In a place where all (or most) photos or record video, the only ones who are entitled to "the second of fame" are the owners of SLR, big and bulky that I absolutely can not fail to be seen. The M9 instead fell into my hands, that hide and protect, only came out at the appropriate time, fast focusing e. .. click. The shutter does not have the time to end the arms race and the car is already hidden. It 'clear that a reflex, perhaps with a good stabilized telephoto lens, was the best choice, but it would have taken away much of my concentration to the concert, to get a picture that it would have been taken from seventy meters.
Leica M9 instead allowed me to photograph without being photographer, that is not to be constantly focused on the photo, but take those few moments that "should " to be captured and the rest totally surrender to the music of U2 .
