Just uploaded a few images from the Playback 5th Anniversary Show to Flickr. This show took place April 6 and featured the bands the Gentleman Auction House, the Daybreak Boys, Go Motion, and Troubadour Dali.
While lighting was on the dim side throughout the evening, the show still produces a few interesting shots. The Nikon 50/1.4 saw a fair amount of use, due to the low light, while the Nikon 17-55/2.8 proved useful enough in range to overcome its handicap in aperture. Even though f/2.8 at ISO 3200 and sliding shutter speeds still produced some underexposure, the zoom was well used for its sheer utility of range.
Here are a few images from the show that I liked:
This last one is from Omaha's Go Motion, whose set I shot almost entirely at ISO 3200, from one of the few instances when the lights were up. Here frontman Albert Kurniawan goes vertical and looks back to bassist Luke Mabie.
