I went to see The Broadcast down at Mercury Lounge earlier this month. I hadn't done any photography in dark clubs for a few months so I was a bit rusty. All of the things you know you need to do to photograph in venues with lighting issues came back pretty quickly. But, at times I felt like what was in my head just wasn't translating to my vision or my camera. That being said, I had a great deal of fun, heard some great music and captured a couple of photos I enjoy.

The above photo I think captures the spirit and fun of the show. Front-woman Caitlin Krisko and percussionist Tyler Housholder boogie together on-stage.
Early into the set, I noticed Krisko's flying hair and decided I had to have a motion shot of her hair. I got several good hair in motion shots but, what I really wanted was her face in focus while her hair was in motion. That was a little harder to manage in low and or changing lighting without flash.
