This last weekend was the Songwriters Festival on Pensacola Beach. This is a 4-day event which brings songwriters from around the country to showcase their songs and give workshops. Performances occur at multiple venues on the beach. I chose to attend Sunday performances at the Amphitheater on the Boardwalk because Pearl Larkin and Chloe Channell were scheduled to perform. Unfortunately, Pearl Larkin ended up not performing. Instead, it was a songwriter named Dani Carroll and someone else whose name I didn't catch. Dani and Chloe sang seated on stools most of the time making it difficult to take interesting photos. I tried to create some variety in my photos by shooting from different positions and angles. This allowed me to use the amphitheatre shell, sky, and bay as backgrounds. Most photos were taken using my Nikon D750 with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens. I did shoot a few wide-angle shots with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. Below are some of my better photos.
