Torchlight

Was at a smoky jazz lounge the other day. Okay not really, but they had a band playing jazz. Here is the sax player at rest. It's funny how good our eyes can be, in the dim of the lounge, I could see perfectly, but the camera had difficulty. Shooting 400 speed film, with a wide open aperture (1.8) I couldn't get anything less than 1/6 second, which makes handholding neigh impossible.
I'm not happy with the sharpness of the image, but in such a dimly lit place, this was the best I could do.
