WTF, I leave for one weekend and when I come back all of a sudden /p/ is full of good pics and very little "What camera should i buy" threads!

Seriously, lets hurry up and post some "available light" pics, and try to keep the ball rolling.

I'll start with Club/stage lighting.

lol 'club' light.
Darker parties like raves would make for more interesting lighting.
Ever tried that?

Whoooaaaa I love the lighting.
I just took up a B&W film photography class at a community college and am looking forward to going to parties and getting good shots.
Would you recommend I bring a monopod or tripod or not even bother because they're too ospacious?
>> Vincent
>>73933
don't bother, people move tripod or not and its bulky as hell

Use flash for long exposure shots and let the scene lighting burn in a couple stops underexposed,
also get wide aperture glass and film / cameras with a useable ISO 800 +.

Woot, finally a few, Though both are a tad motion blurred, Also I think a quick contrast adjustment on the first would help!

I never liked my d70s for low light pics, i found ISO 800 + was just too noisy.
