Since I rarely travel outside Washington State, I try to get my foreign cultural photographic opportunities in other ways. The City of Seattle and the Seattle Center put on a number of great cultural festivals featuring performances from various ethnic groups throughout the year. Here's a small sampling of the most recent festival entitled "A Glimpse Of China". These shots were all taken with a Nikon D7100 coupled with a Nikon 80x400MM lens. The event is indoors and the lighting is a challenge. A shutter speed of 1/400, f/6.3, and ISO between 1600 and 2500 were used for these shots. I have my greatest difficulty achieving something resembling the correct skin color.
Oh wow...What a beautiful, colorful and interesting set of images. Those are really beautifully done. For shooting at such a high ISO, there is no noticeable noise present.
Great color, especially the ones with the black background. Agree that the noise is minimal.

Great set, and I think you did a wonderful job on all of them. There is no noise at all from the high ISO, and I think the skin color is perfect. Well done.
What beautiful colours and composition with minimal noise although the ISO is not inordinately high. Why I prefer Nikon ( I can't afford the Zeiss or Leica) are the lovely colours their optics produce. These pictures are really enjoyable. Thanks.
