What's In My Bag: School Concert

Time for my daughters school concert?  Time for photography.  I've got enough flash to reach her, but that is disruptive so I am going without.  The Nikon D80 has ISO 3200 (Hi 1) so I am going to use that to get the shots.  Lens wise I would normally use my Nikon 70-210mm f/4-5.6 AF-n, but that lens wasn't available, so i am going old school with my Nikon 300mm f/4.5 Ai-S.  The 300mm Ai-S has no electronics or anything so the D80 doesn't like it.  No metering at all and no P, S, or A modes, strictly manual.  You'll need to use the histogram here to get your exposure set.
  • Camera: Nikon D80
  • Lens: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 Ai-S
Concert - Playing Clarinet
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 Ai-S
Focal Length: 300mm
Shutter: 1/80
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 3200 (Hi 1)
Flash: None

Yep, as I write this I was trying to figure out what I forgot, nothing, that is all I brought.  Overall it worked well.  Being all manual made it a little more challenging, mostly in exposure, but as you can see I got the shots any parent would be proud to get.
