At Band Practice

I'm the unofficial photographer for the Seed & Feed Marching Abominable band. Here are some photos from last night's band practice. I've been testing my Sony NEX-6 at practice just to make sure that it's going to be capable of capturing band events where frequently musicians are moving around and the light's not always good. Most of these photos are at ISO 3200, and after some Lightroom work, I think they are quite acceptable.

Good focus on this one, but of course they are not moving around to much, except for the hands!


Betsy was jumping around somewhat, but she wasn't moving towards or away from the camera. I guess capturing people moving forward or backward (from camera) is the real test.


Another group shot of band members. Once again, there's not a lot of movement here, so it's a test of low light performance rather than ability to quickly focus.
