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"
All shots taken with Canon 40D and either EF-S 15-55/2.8 IS USM or EF 70-200/2.8 IS USM. Handheld, available light, ISO 3200.
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!
