 Wonderful stuff.

Thank you.  Those photos are the one percenters.   I shot about 4200 frames 
last weekend.  For my facebook snapshot albums I winnowed them down to about 
600 frames, trying to have decent coverage of all the events, and of as many 
dancers and all of the musicians.  
I narrowed that down to about 200 in sets on flickr:

I'd like to narrow the best of set down a bit more, but having spent way too 
much time over the past week sorting, rating and processing, it's impossible 
for me to look at them objectively.

 
 Perhaps you should have used a flash though...  g,drun

I did use a flash.  If you look carefully, you can probably even tell which 
photos I used one on.  If I'm the sort of guy who will eat bacon on Yom Kippur, 
I'm not going to be afraid to use a flash, even at a dance, when it's 
appropriate to do so.

I have a few examples that show why the K-5 is such an amazing camera:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8027917037/in/set-72157631631427532

At first blush, these two shots seem a bit rough.  Consider that they were shot 
at 1/100 f/3.2 ISO 800

And  for example, this shot of the dancers, was shot at 1/30 f/1.8 ISO12,800:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8027915854

The practical dynamic range of this camera continues to gobsmack me.  There 
wasn't enough light to easily photograph the dancers, and I'm pulling 
reasonable images of the dancers, while exposing for musicians under stage 
lights.

You got some really wonderful shots, Larry. Aside from the blonde 
singer, who wins by default, I like:


75089
75147
73858
72783
71865
72016

Looks like a really fun event to shoot!

The only downside of photographing this event is that it takes up time that I 
could be spending dancing with all of the beautiful women there.
