Ps. Working with a prime lens is so liberating, especially in a stressful situation like a concert where you want to keep the number of variables to a minimum.
alas my pancake 20 (40mm 135 equivalent) felt a little short today. I like to think that he posed for me after pitying my itsy-bitsy lens in a sea of dslr's. I would have given an arm for the 105mm prime that sits on my nikon f3.

History:
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday 18 June 1815 near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. An Imperial French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon was defeated by combined armies of the Seventh Coalition, an Anglo-Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington combined with a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard von Blücher. It was the culminating battle of the Waterloo Campaign and Napoleon's last. The defeat at Waterloo put an end to Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French and marked the end of his Hundred Days' return from exile.
