Jazz Concert

Last Friday I had a chance to shoot the first Jazz Concert of a season at the local university (Cal State of Northridge, CSUN).
It was my first time shooting at the Plaza Del Sol Performance Hall, so I was a bit cautious moving around. Also, lighting was pretty horrible - gel-colored lights mostly, and dark ones at that. I was using two f/2.8 lenses (17-55 IS and 70-200 IS), and yet ISO 3200 was bearely enough. Man, I need faster glass for this...:rolleyes
Anyway, here is what I got.
Below are the few excerpts.
1. The Piano Man:
2. Woodwinds having a good time
3. Trumpet Solo
4. "Little Drummer Boy"
5. "I'm sure those darn woodwinds are fooling around again"
6. "Waiting for his turn"
The rest of the hand picked small selection is here: http://nik.smugmug.com/gallery/3651323
And the complete set is here: http://nik.smugmug.com/Events/395429
Enjoy shooting the good old jazz!

Hi there Nikolai, nice meeting up with you again at the Shoot
Where you using your Canon 40D for this lot ???
I'm glad you had that camera at the Shoot, cause that is my next Body I tell you
You've done extremely well for the conditions you were shooting under,
ISO 3200 looks pretty dang good!
You really enjoy those concerts don't you.

:skippy Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege :dgrin
I don't have anything else anymore
Thank you!
There was some noise, of course, but nothing ACR4.2 couldn't handle
Of course I did. But I will enjoy it even more once they start paying
Good to see you back online!
Cheers!
