Here are some of the shots from my first stint in a photographer's pit at a gig! It really wasn't easy holding a D3 & 70-200mm lens steady and being just a few feet away from James!

The D3 performed perfectly. I mainly shot on 2500 & 3200 iso and although everyone is sick to death of hearing how well this camera works at high ISO's I'll add my wholehearted confirmation to that! Other than the first shot (which actually didn't really need it), none of these images have had noise reduction software run on them.
