My first paid Gig! LOL (5 pics)

Had my first paid Gig, a regional song competition final. I got paid about $5, the price of an entrance ticket Well, they got what they paid for.....

The ISO was actually 10 000 and the shutter speed between 1/13 and 1/30 on the various shots, all hand held.

Some of the guest stars.(national)





Some of the contestants







This was a lot of fun, something I never actually do, but my "almost daughter from another mother" also participated, so I had to try!

Pretty good, I'd say. They got way more than they paid.
These are much less noisy than I'd have guessed, for ISO 12800. Is there much post done?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking a look! Me and PP are not great friends, but I had to crop, run it once through a free Noiseware Community Edition on the default setting, and Focus Magic, also the default setting

I got paid about $5
Well it's a start, I wouldn't at this stage rush out and buy specialist glass for the camera just yet.

Not 'till other gigs appear in the diary.

Now you just had to dash my hopes of persuading the other half that it was time for a new lens.....
