Hi Amita ISO 400-800 should work imho with the lenses you mentioned if they do not move too much. A monopod would be useful here. I would mostly use the Tamron 90mm for it's quality and the FA 31mm for group shots.
I hope you post the results. greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Amita Guha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 5:32 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: shooting bands in the dark >> >> >>A friend of mine is playing drums in a band on Tuesday night, and >>he gave me >>permission to shoot them.
