I Wanna Be A Rockette!

P1000038
We have started our holidays off this year by going to the Radio City Music Hall Rockette's. It was a spectacular show. I brought my new little handy dandy Panasonic Lumix
10x's zoom camera. Of coarse it was announced not to take
pictures but once I saw flashes going off all around me,
I decided that just a few snap shots couldn't hurt! lol P1000032-1
This was the first shot I tried to "sneak out and take".......this number on
the bus was so cute. I wish I would have been a little more daring
and taken more pictures during this number. P1000034
Can you imagine seeing this many Santa's on stage?
They were in perfect
sync with one another. It was darling. P1000036
At one point Santa was flying through the air to get to the North Pole
and it started to snow on us. We were covered in these
tiny pieces of paper. I mean covered.
We had floor seating and we were about the 10th row back,
aisle seats right next to the stage. It was soooo fun. P1000039
Here they are. The stunning Rockette's. I wish I had long legs like that! lol
And the arm muscles on these woman! OH.MY.WORD. Incredible! P1000045
I loved how they incorporate the true meaning of Christmas. Here the angel of the Lord
is telling the Three Wise Men to come to the stable. This was an awesome scene.
However, I was not familiar with my camera at this point to know how to quickly set it to low lighting. They had the most incredible scene of each Wise Men and their entourage go across the stage. They even had two real camel's and a donkey. Real sheep are by the stable. The costumes were immaculate! My pictures of this processional didn't turn out very well. P1000052
But this picture did. It was a beautiful sight. What a way to start off
this joyous holiday season. P1000043
Happy Holidays to all of my sweet blogger friends. Hugs! ;)

Hi Steffie,
So glad to hear you like the camera. The pictures turned out great! I love my DSLR, but I also love being able to have this little handy one tucked away in my purse at all times. And isn't the zoom wonderful?

We go to see the Rockettes next week. I've been before several times in Detroit, but now I'm really looking forward to it, thanks to your fabulous photos.

Have a great week!

Michelle

OMW!!! I absolutely cannot wait to see them this weekend!! How meat that you and I were both "thinking Rockettes"!!! hee-hee!!
Next time we make big plans...we should consult with each other...who knows...we might be in the same audience!!! hee-hee!
I still think you should come to Nashville this weekend and hang out with me, Gwen, Laura, and Missy!!! We are going to have such fun!!!
Great pics...and I hear ya about the big ole Oly...sticking outta my purse everywhere I go!!! But you gotta love the perfect pics it produces!!! I have a smaller point and shoot that I take places that the big ole' Oly will be a pain to deal with. It is a Nikon Cool pix...Chelsi also has a pink Casio Eslim 7.2 that she loves..(of course it would be pink!!!)
So glad you all had such a fab time with the Rockettes!!! After reading this post...I am more anxious than ever!
