Leonard Cohen live anoyingmouse
Not sure whether any of you kids know Leonard Cohen, but he is on tour these days in Europe and gives great concerts. The dude is 73!

Anyways SLRs were strictly forbidden at the concert with big signs at the entrance and securtiy checks + email before the concert. go figure.
So I had to smuggle my D300 body past security, gotta love Crumpler bags with 'secret' compartments. A friend got the tiny Nikon 55-200 for me which is good but not great. It was dark and half raining and the lightning they used on stage sucked. Had to use ISOs of up to 3200, and still got some keepers.
This one is one of my favorites, and is used as my desktop background at the moment.
cheers

What bag do you mean??

I've got the "pretty boy" myself, but I wouldn't class the lower section as "secret", spesh not for a security check

I took one of the biggest Crumpler bags. I think it is called 'the sinking barge' but I am not sure. it is a half-and-half bag, but the whole back opens as well with a fairly hidden zipper (to accomodate a laptop).
you just cant see it from the front, so camera body went to the bottom of that section which gets pressed and even if you open it, you have to reaaly twist it to see all the way down.
the security guy opened the (front pockets) of the bag and took stuff out, and he was feeling the back with his hands and couldnt find it. At some point I was sure I was going to listen to the concert from behind the fence...

And to the other guy here that heard of LC, here is another picture. Go hear him live if you can before he goes on another 15 year break from performing.

I heard that one of his managers somehow stole all of his money. Is it that your friend's brother's work?
