Sony A1, Sony FE 24-105mm @ 24mm, 1/500 sec, f/5.0, ISO 5000, shutter priority

Philadelphia has a large ethnic community, including Polish, Italian, German, Ukrainian, Chinese and others. Every year the Polish community celebrates its heritage with a festival attended by thousands of people. The program includes native dances, folkloric music and of course Polish food. I have had some trouble with my A1 camera and used this opportunity to shoot with shutter priority which I rarely do. The fact that the A1 has very low noise even at 5000 ISO made it possible to use a shutter speed of 1/500 to almost completely freeze the action. I overlooked the amp sticking out into the right corner.
