Oh, my. I wouldn’t say I had low expectations. I didn’t have any expectations. Then, they blew me away.

    Wow! I have a question for you, Justin. How did you get such well-exposed and crisp images on stage? I have been trying to figure out low-lighting photography for such a long time now, but to no avail! I set the ISO to 800 or 1600 and the aperture as low as my camera goes which is about 3.4ish, and they are all still such long exposures! Help a sister out?

    I use a 5D Mark II so I can push the ISO to 800 or 1600 and there is very little noise. These images were all shot at 400 ISO, I think. The light on that guy is pretty bright from the spot light overhead, so that helps. The other thing that helps is I’m using a fixed 50mm lens and shooting it wide open at 1.4. So you get a 50th of a second shutter speed and you just hold real still. Some times it works. Some times it doesn’t.

    Thanks for the great response! I think I’ll invests in a 50mm lens…
