    Thanks Myksyk, and thanks for all the work you do around here

    Clearly a Queen concert, in one of the biggest indoor arenas in Europe - Manchester Arena

    I know Brian May and his mop of nearly white hair is a bit of a light magnet, and when he took to that centre stage he asked the audience to add some atmosphere by switching their phone lights on. With the spotlights on him he almost became "Brian Monochrome" and I knew all those white lights were likely to provide a great picture. And being quite tall I was getting all the lights from those in the standing area as well

    All done with a compact digital Sony RX100 VI. They won's allow SLRs (digital or otherwise) into most concerts as they consider anything with a detachable lens as a "professional" camera, whereas this pocket dynamo of a camera is probably as good as many larger options, particularly when close up, but also taking something at a relatively wide angle like this
