RevUp show at Crusaders in Frederick, MD on 17 August 2013.
I used my Nikon D4 for this shoot, and, as always, it didn't let me down. The D4 is the low light king, and for this assignment it was perfect.
The performance was good; I enjoyed it. The band had more lights at this show, including a laser system. And, to my surprise they utilized a smoke machine - Awesome!
The smoke, even though released only a few times, added to the mood of the show, which made for good atmosphere photos.
