Hi Dave, A good recording of the event and spotlight effect does minimise the horrible background, but it doesn't really work for me. I would like to see more close-ups with a longer lens and wider aperture to get the background oof. Reduce flash power or available light on a tripod/monopod. I think high ISO with a bit of 'grain' works fine for performance shots.
