Thanks for the reply. It really helped put my brain at ease when dealing with high ISO settings.

Warbringer’s playin tomorrow at an itty bitty club here in Oahu. I’m so stoked you’ve given me a nice idea as to what to expect. Now the question, Mosh pit or attempt to take photos. It is a bit hard to do both.

Hi Raul,

For the most part, the Nikon D3 is just that badass. I also try to nail my exposures at the time of capture which definitely helps control any noise that would result from exposure compensation in post-editing. I very rarely use noise ninja and even then I only use it to remove color (chroma) noise.

I sometimes use the flash bare and sometimes use the included plastic diffuser (like the omni-bounce) that comes with the SB-900. These photos were taken using the diffuser.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for posting this. You just destroy when it comes to capturing those "metal moments." I do have a technical question. I was curious about how you are able to shoot at such a high ISO and not get all the crazy noise that usually comes with it. Do you rely heavily on NoiseNinja and a bit of post-editing? Or is your Nikon just that badass?

One more: Do you use an Omni-bounce on your speedlight when you shoot indoor shows using flash?

Thanks again for the inspiration. Keep killin it!
