Prefer the b/w over the color. I wonder how it would look with the
spotlights above his ear either toned down or gone entirely.
Thanks Paul, good suggestion, here's the version with the spotlights
gone, and a few other touchups to the background

I really appreciate all of the helpful suggestions, it really helps to
get feedback from people with more emotional distance from the photos.

Some excellent shots, I love 32108.
Thanks a bunch Paul. I'm curious how people feel about it in color:

versus black and white:

And if the B&W is too dark.

Well. if you hadn’t told us you weren’t happy with the focusing, we
wouldn’t know it from this set. Nice stuff!
Thanks Marco. Despite my reputation to the contrary, I actually do
know how to refrain from showing the crappy photos.
Also thanks to Dan and Malcolm, and everyone else who had a look.

Some friends of mine run a weekly blues jam. Tonight was the last
one this year, and they did it as a benefit to raise money for a
friend (the fellow in the first six frames of the set). Most of
these were shot with the K-1 and the FA 80-200/2.8, a few with the
15-30 and the 28-105, and one with my bigma. I think I lost fewer
shots to missed focus than with earlier bodies, but I'm still not
completely happy with the focusing on the K-1.
Lighting was with led spots, with a lot of blue in the back.
If anyone has hints for how to increase the autofocus hit rate
when photographing musicians moving around on stage, I'm interested.
On the plus side, the K-1 doesn't seem to obsess on the microphone
as badly as previous bodies did either.
I don't know if I got any knockout photos, but I trimmed down the
facebook set to 41 competent frames for flickr, I'm pretty happy
with the set:

For gear heads who want to see the exif data:

I haven't yet applied any noise reduction via the slider in
lightroom.
Comments and such are appreciated as always.
