Taken during a Karate Black Belt ceremony at a high school near home, I captured this candid moment with one of the musicians. I really feel this shot captures a moment in time that should not be forgotten. These musicians were simply amazing, I could listen to their music for hours.
I know that this might be too grainy but I had to shoot at ISO 1600 to capture anything worth while. I feel I learned a lot on this outing, but still have a lot more to learn when it comes to concert / performance shooting.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
As a candid, this is just ok for me. I would list it under performance before candid though. I do like the tones, but its a bit too noisy and out of focus.
