[QUOTE="yauman, post: 314003, member: 15418"] Here's a [URL="http://yauman.smugmug.com/Events/Rent/"]link[/URL] to my shoot of my daughter when she was in the play Rent as part of the CalTech players from a couple months ago. They allowed cameras but not flash. I didn't arrive early enough to get a good front row seat so I was about 10 rows back to stage right. All photos are shot at ISO 6400 with my D7100 with the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens (VR on). The play is dark most of the time with only one spot light on the main speaking character. This is how they all came out - as you can see they are ok as the D7100 does very well at high ISO. The trick to doing high ISO shooting is to OVER expose when in doubt - I set it to 1/2 to 1 ev on the plus side. When shooting with high ISO, you can recover from over exposed images somewhat but if you try to recover from underexposed ones, the image gets very grainy and color aberration sets in.
