This post is really just to make John
heyu1021 even more jealous. Hahaha.
I just had my mom's Sony Cybershot and my cellphone so the pictures aren't the greatest quality. It took me about 15 minutes of fiddling with it in Manual mode (note to self: p&s cameras are not meant to shoot in manual mode; why do they even have this function?) to get settings that would take pictures that wouldn't blow out the singers into white blobs. I succeeded of course, but then the camera kept tweaking itself anyway. Stupid thing.
If I would have known it was okay to bring cameras, I would have brought my dslr with me. But in fear of getting it taken away by security, I didn't. Well, they didn't do any sort of security checks. WTF? We had good seats which also helped with the picture taking. Because that's pretty much what I occupied myself with the whole time until her camera died. She didn't even think to recharge the battery. -___-;;
On to the pictures!
It was set in VGA mode at first. D: I also did not go past optical zoom,
so some of these are cropped just a tiny bit.
Jason Michael Carroll opened up for her...
He's the white blob. Lol. This is before I fixed the camera settings.
This is how far we were from the main stage.
And this is after.
They were really close when they walked out onto the extended stage.
I love it when singers do this. IDKE.
Me and mom. No flash = bad ps fixing. D:
Here's Carrie.
Hot violin player... Dx
I think this is the best shot of the night.
This was cute. She spotted these two little boys and since she couldn't get off the stage,
they put the two on the stage with her. They had flowers for her and everything.
Just an aww kind of a moment really. Heh.
I was seriously impressed with her singing. I never knew.
And then the camera died.
So yes, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I still only knew a few parts of the songs that she's released and had no clue of the other ones. It was enjoyable. I don't think I would still go to another country music concert though. It's really just not my thing. Whatever.
I was surprised at how small the Lakeside Arena was. I think no matter where you sat you had good seats. Even the way ups. I've never been there before but I wouldn't mind going back to see something not country music else be held there.
Also, WHO'S WITH ME?!
