Cafe Aroma's open mic night. September 7, 2012.

If you had told me three years ago that there would be a DSLR with a max ISO of 25,600, I would not have even understood or comprehended a statement like that. But alas, the Canon 5D Mark III does it. So tonight, just for fun, I shot all of my pix at Cafe Aroma's at 25,600 ISO. Obviously, they were grainy. But I shoot RAW, so a noise reduction slider tweak or two pretty much took care of that. I had my doubts. But, I am duly impressed with this first round of low light Mark III pix.

All photos shot with Canon 24-105 L-Series lens.

By the way, these are my friends playing: Brian James, Chris McDill, Dustin Gibson, Alex Hinton, and Thomas (Biz) Bizzle. My friends are talented, and that's awesome for me.
