LARRY THE CABLE GUY- 'Tailgate Party' Tour Sanford Center, Bemidji, MN
This was quite possibly the most difficult shoot to date. I was allowed 2 minutes by the tour manager to get the shots I needed. This would have been fine, because Larry doesn't exactly jump around stage, and move from one end to the other, unfortunately the tour manager did not allow me to get even close to the stage. My 80-200 lens did not measure up to the distance I was allowed to shoot which was approximately 500 ft from the stage. Had I known, it would have been this far back, I would have brought a 400mm which would have been more than adequate for the job. The images that I was able to get from that far back did not resonate a good feeling for presenting to an editor, but it is what it is! With that said, here are the images, lesson learned, be prepared! Before the show just outside the green room, I was able to visit with Larry, AKA Dan Whitney, and you would be surprised the guy doesn't even have an accent he speaks normal, and is the most personable guy I have met to date who is in the entertainment business! Thanks for the laughs Dan, even before Larry took over!
