| You can see the green laser in this one, which is kinda cool. |
It looks a lot cooler to the eye than it does at f5-point-something. With a max ISO of 1600 and a not-very-fast lens, I'm a little limited. At any rate, I won't be dragging the big girl camera along tonight; I have enough gear to schlep as it is...

You can't be too rich, too thin or have a fast enough lens. (Though I am not a fan of the zero depth-of-field/part-of-one-nostril in focus school of photography.) It's fun to play with the big, fast glass, but it seems you'd get greater cost-benefit with better high-ISO performance here.
That said, I like those photographs in a sort of X-files way. Especially the second one. I trust the red lights are worn on the belt? Otherwise it'd be more than a little disturbing that everyone is holding their safety light to their crotch.
secret code: inaCLA (is that where the big girl camera is?)
No, all the other guys said that crotch-borne was the way operators rock their personal marker lights. That's why it's called a "glowstick". Protip, yo.
What the - lenses have their own Wikipedia pages.
That's a tought picture even with a fast lens. It shouldn't be well lit. Grainy B&W might be the trick. Otherwise illuminate with the barest of lights. A Photon keychain light might be just right.
Panasonic G3 (now up to G6) with Panasonic 20mm 1.7 lens will render that scene almost as if it were lit with flood lights, all in a package that you can almost carry in a pocket. Max ISO is 3200 and has a very film-like grain (rather than digital noise).

I guess using a flash or a 1,000,000 candlepower light around people shooting firearms was discouraged by, well, everyone there?
Bummer - Google Blogger strips the EXIF info from uploaded images. I wanted to see if those really were taken ISO 1600, because I thought for sure they would have been brighter at that high an ISO setting.
Yes they were.
