Baby, It's Dark in Here




We attended a dance performance at Colorado College, where photography was allowed but not flash. Most of the dancing was done under fairly dim, colored lights, which were constantly changing hue and intensity. I needed a long lens to fill my frame, but I only had a slow 18-200mm zoom with a maximum aperature of 5.6 when zoomed all the out to 200mm. So I cranked up my ISO to 6400, hoped for the best, and shot away.
I was pleasantly surprised. Try getting shots like this with a film camera and no flash.
