The lighting was pretty nasty while we were shooting. Maybe I've got to buy the lighting tech at this venue a few rounds next time ;-) The band is definitely worth checking out, I think they're heading over for a European tour soon. Hope you have better lighting than me! Hey Andi, thanks for your picks, I think you chose two of my favorite shots. The lighting was pretty nasty while we were shooting.

It's #11 and especially #13 for me, because here the light really gives Barr a three dimensional look and the expression is well caught. Maybe I'll visit them too, should be in my range in one or two weeks, think I got it written down somewhere. Mh, tricky lighting this time.

The light was actually much better for the first of the two openers, Everybody Out. Thanks for the picks. Yeah, pretty nasty, right?

Despite the overall clean look of the images, the lighting ratios are seriously harsh. It's #1 and #3 for me this time based on expression. Wow, this looks super rough.

On the exposure side, I would have been at HI-1 on the D2x with a shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/160 (instead of 1/160 and 1/320) using the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. I might have gone to the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, but the light for this gig was generally bright enough -- it was more an issue of quality -- for f/2.8 glass. The big reason I kept up my shutter speeds was the constant motion on stage, particularly by the frontman. With the D2x, I might have shot more as a means of increasing the hit rate. Other than these tech detail, the overall approach for shooting, tracking, and working subjects would have been identical with the older camera. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
