The photo was more of a commentary about the modern concert venue. You are always looking through a sea of cell phones these days. Not the most spectacular image but I had some fun with it.
The band is Cheap Trick. I had media credentials so I was moving between the pit, VIP area and the back of the crowd. This shot was from between the crowd and the barricades at the back.
Well done everyone. Lots of different interpretations on mobile.
Thanks for taking the time to critique for everyone.
I'm not a big fan of drones either @Scepticalscribe. This one just turned up at this windmill I was shooting at sunrise. The guy was polite enough, and when I caught a glimpse of it through the gap beneath the windmill I asked him to hover above the sun.

Actually, it is an excellent shot, the stark lines, the lighting and pictorial composition are all excellent, and it captures the slightly sinister aspect of that flying object very well. Had I been in your shoes, I would have photographed it myself. However, speaking personally, I cannot stand them.
Precisely. I think it is a great shot too. Very 1984, thought police!
Thanks Ken. Of course I'm far too young to know what you mean by 1984!
Cell phones, or worse, iPad minis, and worse still, full sized iPads held aloft, blocking views……..it can be very annoying sometimes.
People should enjoy the moment. Leave their igadgets in their pockets and keep clear for our cameras!

I may have a pass but I still try and to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Our real cameras, you mean……..
February is over, but I did fetch out the 'real camera' (my M6) yesterday, Mother's Day, and took a few of my mother (elderly and with very advanced dementia) sitting with the light (cold steely light as it was lashing rain) from the window she had been looking out through falling on her and illuminating her.

I am short of stature and I wear spectacles so much of the debate of my adult life when attending crowded functions and gatherings - where heaving masses of humanity have congregated - has been about the fantasy of owning a periscope.
But what use is a periscope when faced with a wall of held aloft iPads which serve to obscure my possible field of vision a lot more than ever did a sea of bobbing human heads?

Does it do 4k video?

You always sound quite poetic the way you choose your words.
Sure, but the frame rate might be a little low. The native resolution is 24,000 x 19,200 or about 460 megapixels.Does it do 4k video?

Love it!
You and me both!
Well done everyone and congrats to the winners! Sorry I missed it.
They have a pit and media credentials for the Fremont St concerts? I had no idea. The few times I have been down there it appeared to be a huge free for all. Grabbed a few photos of Deep Purple and Puddle of Mudd during the free summer concert series they have been having down there. Sadly I missed Cheap Trick.
