1. No flash IN THE BIG TOP. If you’ve ever been, you know what I’m talking about.
2. Shot using the 20mm f/1.8 lens. Problematic lens for me in the past.
3. You can see the face of each band member, including the drummer. No small thing.

    I like it! It looks like a lost segment of American Bandstand.

    Looks like the Ed Sullivan Show! Good “1960’s” quality there.

    So, is it the lens that gets you these brighter images or a setting on your camera, like a night mode??

    The first one works. It really captures the feel of, as some have already pointed out, American Bandstand.
