Dark Concert

My daughter modeled in another fashion show.  This time it was at a concert and it was dark!
I wasn't allowed a tripod or flash.  I don't know how you guys shoot in situations like this.  I set my ISO really high and still had problems getting the shutter speed reasonable, so I just set it at 1/60 and knew I was getting dark pictures.  I didn't have much time to experiment either since I didn't know how dark it was going to be until right before the models started walking.
Anyway, here they are.  She is wearing a corset that laces up the two sides and a ballerina skirt and sketchers.  The theme was kinda punk inspired, so the designer had her not smile and do the little punk face at the end of the walk with her tongue out.  I caught the image mid-expression, unfortunately.  The crowd LOVED her, she was the only child model.

Edit:  By the way, these have absolutely no post processing on them, maybe they will look better when I lighten them a touch and fix the noise.

Let me be the first to say...

Awwwwwwww [grin]

I set the camera on 1/60 or a little faster, shoot auto ISO and set the aperture to f2.8, and hope for the best. 

Why doesn't my ISO show in the exif data?  I even went to Photoshop and it doesn't have that info.  I set it to the highest setting.
For some reason in manual mode I can't set my ISO to auto.
That's as wide open as I could shoot with that lens.

I really don't have the right equipment for these sorts of shoots.  I tried to get some stuff of the band playing, but they were hopping around a lot, so they are all blurry, but maybe that's okay, shows motion?
When I get time I will sift through them and see if I have anything good to post.

and I call this piece "blurry alien in cool colors"
 

Thanks Mike.  I really don't know how to shoot bands or what you do with pictures like this anyway...

That's the thing about band shots, freaky lighting, using different w/b settings, lots of fun.
These recent ones are cool also.

Your daughter is adorable! And I like the way they came out. It's not so dark that you can't make out details, but I think the lighting gives it a cool effect.

I agree the the first one of the band is the best, but they all did turn out awesome.
