Ana Sia delivering a tower of bass to the crowd at Grand Sierra Resort...

Bass for your face Reno!  If you enjoy that which goes thump in the night, and you weren’t present for this sold-out Burning Man decompression event at Grand Sierra Resort featuring headlining act, Pretty Lights, then you missed out on a very groovy time, baby.  After Love and Light warmed things up, Ana Sia unleashed the demon.  There were times when the bass frequency response shook me to a point where I felt mesmerized, as if a spell had been put over me and I was then transported to this truly ‘static’ state of being.  It was like I was existing in the fabric behind the walls of life.  It was amazing, and loud … it was amazingly loud.  Loud to the point of where I felt sorry for others not wearing ear protection.  Gotta pack protection, y’all.

As per my shooting arsenal, the Nikon D7000 DSLR and attached Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens were in tow, and specs were set as follows:  Aperture, f/1.8.  Shutter speed, 1/250th of a second.  ISO, 1600.  Very straight-forward and typical of most shoots using this setup.  As always, I am impressed at the quality of the shots this lens can capture, albeit the 50mm is Nikon’s least expensive lens in the lineup.  Don’t worry faithful followers, there are a couple new lenses I’ve got my eye on.  It hurts a little to know that thousands of dollars will be spent.  However, photographs of Reno concerts and other social outings will ensue.  I can’t help but keep looking toward the future … and grinning!
