So I was drafted/volunteered by my wife to photographically chronicle a service sorority convention - rational guy that I am, I leveraged that into a D7000 and a bit of glass.
The band gave me free reign to roam at will (caveat - no flash) so appreciate your thoughts on my first venture into the band/club and hi-ISO arena. All taken with D7000 and f/2.8 Nikkor 80-200mm at f/4, ISO auto - min shutter speed 125 (I think), min ISO 200, MAX ISO 6400, using monopod.
Elvis entered the house later...
Thanks for looking,
Bob
PS - Question - on some images, the last in particular, LR4 does not render colors (blotchy areas resembling birth-marks) properly on monitor 1 (calibrated to monitor 1) but displays properly on monitor 2. Any ideas? Suggestions?
Stage shooting is a bit tricky isn't it!
I do a bit of performance stuff here and there.
#1 and #4 are good shots.
Here's the harsh bit...
#1, nice angle and expressive, but ease back on the sharpening and saturation if you ever want her to speak to you again! (maybe a candidate for a little dreamy (soft) focus...)
Rookie stage shooting error on #2, that's just rude! (We all have this shot somewhere!)
If you haven't worked it out, then bless your innocent cotton socks!
Same issue multiplied on #3 with additional awkward shadows on the faces.
#4 I'm damn sure that LR's NR can do a better job than that!
I hope you enjoyed the experience, it's a really testing situation working right on the cusp of your equipments limits, often under other limitations.

Thanks Paul,
Yes, interesting, fun experience with lots to learn & living on the edge of the situation.
Fact is, I forgot to apply NR to all images - back to a kinder, gentler, approach
