Percussion ensemble rehearsal in low light.

My students were working on this piece by Gerard Grisey performed around the audience.
High ISO on 60D with either 10-22mm, 50mm 1.8 or 85 1.8.
Only light were music stand lights and exit emergency lights with fast moving subjects spread all around the house.
Constructive criticism welcome and needed!

I would suggest that you try taking shots where the lighted music stand isnt in the image but rather the off camera light source. The blown out hot spot surrounded by blur doesnt work for me. I'd much rather see tighter shots of faces lit by that light that the light itself making the person a poorly defined silhouette.

Like this maybe?

Much better, although it still appears a bit soft.

Yeah, I was trying my best to find a balance between speed and ISO, handheld.
I need to do a lot more of these...
Thanks for the comments by the way!

Wow, looks like a really tough one to shoot man. You did well considering the conditions!
