Saturday night was one of those times that I really wish I owned a Nikon D700 due to its mind-blowing performance in low-light. I photographed a small performance of electronic music at Toronto’s Rivoli where the lighting was abysmal. I had to push my poor Nikon D200 to the Hi-1.0 setting (equivalent to ISO 3200) and shoot at f/1.8 just to squeak by. Even then, my exposure times were long but I made the best of it.

The back room of the Rivoli is small and loud; the performances bass-heavy like you can’t fathom; and the crowd reaction suitably restrained.

I sat next to an extraordinarily loud speaker to get most of the shots, so I hope the temporary hearing damage was worth it.
