Considering I needed ISO 12800 and ISO 25600 for these shots, I feel your pain! Thanks for the comment. Hey Mike,

I can imagine the kind of place Lenny’s must be, I’m sure seeing them live in such an intimate setting was great.

Thanks for the comment.

They had almost *0* light for both foreground and background. It really sucked even using a f/1.8 lens @ 1600. On the other hands it was great to see them in such a small place. Great shots!

I was definitely trying to use the monitors as I could, because there was simply no fighting them. They were far to dominant to get around for the most part. Yeah, this is the first headlining show where I've resorted to ISO 25600, which says a lot. At most I've been at ISO 6400 or maybe just a hair above, but certainly at or below ISO 12800. First time for everything, right? Hey Raquita, thanks for your picks. I was definitely trying to use the monitors as I could, because there was simply no fighting them.

It looks like they're heading to the UK for an ATP, but only that festival. The "through the monitors" approach was really the only one available for this gig, though in hindsight I would have liked to get a shot from the front of house, too. But for shooting in the pit, the monitors were placed so closely together that between them and the high stage, it was game over for a conventional approach. Glad to hear the atmosphere was conveyed – what else is there at an EITS show? :) Hey Owain, I really hope you make it to one of their gigs one day.
