Nicely captured in what I assume is a low light situation.

Great picture. I love the total effect of the low light on the colors. 🙂

Can I ask what settings you use for shots like this?

  This was taken with a Nikon D3100, 1/25 sec exposure, f5, ISO 3200, and lens at 150mm. It was actually taken in auto mode.

I shot an event yesterday and I definitely appreciate the difficulty of shooting in such conditions. Great shot Bryan, even if it was in auto mode 🙂

I do like the glowing blues and greens reflected by the gentleman’s clothing! It works perfectly with the contrasting deep red-oranges in the background.
