Conga Jazz at Broad Ripple Park
Larry Michael's Conga Jazz performed at Broad Ripple Park on August 23, 2005. The lighting conditions were very poor, and I apologize for the tremendous amount of noise in the resulting pictures. After the first few pictures, all were shot at f/2.8 with the highest ISO setting available. Coverage was for the Broad Ripple Gazette.
UPDATE: On Sept 1, 2005 I was able to catch Conga Jazz at Butler University playing at the REACH sponsored Ethnic Festival. It was nice to have a chance to capture this band with good lighting.

I really try to avoid shooting flash pictures of performers. One exception I made this night was a shot from behind the group. I liked the way the roof of the shelter framed the band and crowd.
Keith Hayes provided stunning vocals.
Dr. Virginia Jefferson on piano.
