Full Throttle

by davidstorm

On Saturday night I finally had the chance to let the K-5 loose and see what it could do with very little light, so I set it on auto ISO and let it do the rest. The results were brilliant, in a venue where taking pics was very tricky to say the least. Very low light levels and lots of horrible LED lights as you can see by the squiggles in the picture.

I will upload a couple more for you to see, all taken at my Wife's Cousin's 40th Birthday Party (he's the bass player). This one has been tonemapped and has had some additional noise added.

K-5, DA 16-45.

Reminds me of The Clash in full flow and at their prime, the treatment suites the image to a tee

Thanks all, this is my first attempt at this type of shot and I think it turned out OK.

It also reminds me of the late Stuart Adamson (the bass player, although Adamson played lead guitar) - any Big Country fans out there?
