If you are asking about the location it is in the first sentence. Lake Tahoe, California. Thanks for your comments...

Great exposure and color for a low light situation. One hint, it looks like to focal point on #1 is the center of the guitar and on #2 the bell of the trombone leaving the faces a bit soft. Suggesting the focal point be the faces and let the rest fall in and out of focal range for a more natural appearance.

Thanks for the comments. I'm shooting on a T5i with primes, I aim for the face to be in focus, but sometimes the limited focus points grab something else for the focus.

It's not even limited focus points. In low light, AF in general is hungry for anything with contrast. Steel mesh mic covers are the worst culprits.

Try using Spot Focus, focus on the face and lock it in then compose and shoot.

Thanks I already use spot focus. Unless they are not moving, compose and shoot hasn't worked very well.
