Whole new meaning to the phrase "Magenta Band"

...and before you strain your eyes looking - I mean the (correct) color of the musicians, not a digital artifact...

 

Shot these at Denver's "Parade of Lights" Friday night: ISO 640 (except the dragon with flash) 21 pre-ASPH, 90 f/2.0 pre-APO, and a 30-year-old 50 'cron for the lollipop girl. Lighting was tungsten bulbs (some colored) and/or sodium vapor street lights.

 

Figured it would be an acid test for banding, and while it did show up (along with blobs, etc.) in quite a few shots, I got far more pictures with no problems at all.

Nice shots. But what drives me crazy in these things, knowing now of the magenta shift, is wondering how much magenta is really magenta, and how much is black. I was in a shopping mall today, and there is a *lot* of magenta around this season, and, of course, a lot of black. I gotta get these filters before I go around the bend...

The filters will sort it out for you.
