Camden Mayor Dana Redd at the Citizen’s Campaign Camden Call to Service, 04/01/2011, originally uploaded by john m flores.
The Pentax K-x got a workout last night, shooting an event in Camden NJ. The DA* 50-135 was used all night – the zoom range was perfect for the situation – large assembly area with smaller breakout areas. I had the DA* 16-50 and a couple of primes as backup, but they never left the bag.
The K-x did great – as expected. I pushed the ISO to 3200 with impunity, comforted by the fact that any noise could be managed in Lightroom 3.
I had the Metz 58 AF-1 mounted and used it sparingly – lighting was generally even, and the high ISO made it optional. This shot did have flash bounced off the ceiling for a soft fill.
Partnered with the K-x for the first time was the GH2. More about that in the next post…
