Still riding high atop the ending moments of an aural explosion named ¡Mayday!, the crowd at Knitting Factory Concert House was given a performance by up-and-coming Strange Music artist, Jay Rock and fellow Hype Man Michael Jones that not only kept the vibe going well into the night but made this evening one to be remembered for each and every one of the 1200 devoted fans in attendance.
While in the pit, with a sold-out crowd nearly pushing over the barricade behind me — waving bandanas and throwing up West Side hand gestures — I was able to freely move about, capturing some pretty impressive angles with my trusty Nikon D7000 fitted with Nikon’s least expensive, yet top 10 rated lens, the legendary 50mm f/1.8D. Taking advantage of the D7000’s ISO sensitivity advancements, I felt comfortable setting the levels to a constant 1600. Couple that with a wide open aperture of 1.8 and 1/250th of a second as my shutter speed of choice; add a bit of auto white balancing and the shots literally came flooding in.
