Pushing the K-5's low light performance

Last Friday, a band played at Friday Night Blues. As always the lighting is quite a challenge, especially for photographing musicians and dancers, so I ended up pushing the ISO to about 10,000 for most of the evening. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157629515077461/ -- Larry
