Jam Party



We went to a party at the Armadillos' house and the band was playing in the basement. There were only a few small lights on and it was almost impossible to take photos without the flash. In the end I just enabled the extended ISO and shot at 1/60s and 3200 ISO. There was a lot of noise and the images are pretty soft, but I was able to capture the natural lighting and mood. All I did was adjust the levels a bit and reduce the noise and sharpen. Let me know what you think.
