Some shots i took while at the Soundwave festival in Melbourne. I am trying to improve my concert photography skills, so any comments are welcome.

Welcome to POTN Brett. There is a Sticky by Dwight McCann at the top of the Performing Arts Forum section... Give it a once over... Also try to edit and number these shots, and you'll get more feedback.... You have several well framed and composed captures... Cheers.

About the only thing I could suggest would be to get the shutter speed up a little more. You seem to have room on the F stop to increase the shutter, increasing will help to get the images a little less soft. I know I shoot with shutter at 200 which made a big difference in my images from the 100 I was shooting at. Other then that your images a decent and you look like you had great access to the stage.

To get up there with KSE would be an honor, but... where is Howard?!

I agree with the above comments, a bit soft. I don't have much experience in this lighting situation though, and I'm sure I wouldn't even have pulled this off.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I wasn't really happy with any of the shots i had of Howard (singer) so i didn't post any. here's one to prove he was there though!

I should have made more of an effort on the night to make sure i had good shots of him, but i spose since i was getting better results from the other guys i just sorta stuck with that.

Unfortunately i had just put the camera away when he did a dive off the top of the speaker stacks into the crowd. Would have been great to catch that!

Well, I wish I was there! Last time they came near me was on valentines day, and believe me... the X cared less about what I wanted than what kind of gifts I was giving her. God forbid if I went to a concert.

Notice I said 'X' ;)

Freedom baby!
