The Victor Hugo International Music Festival is currently running in Guernsey and I was asked to be the official festival photographer, so I have spent a good deal of time photographing musicians and dancers over the past week. It's all been low-available-light work, so the 5D with the trusty 70-200 f/2.8 IS have been invaluable. For this shot I bumped the ISO to 1600 and added the 2X convertor limiting me to f/5.6 and 1/40 sec. Not bad, had-held at 340mm!
This is a member of the South Bank Sinfonia, who performed the opening concert of the classical part of the festival.
