WOW, you made out well in these poor lit situations. They came out nicely, especially of the ones on stage. These are the best concert photos Ive seen.

The photo's are great. The only thing I noticed is that they are all taken from the same standpoint and have only one subject in each.

Thanks! Yes Conk, you are right. I had to take them from the same standpoint because this club is pretty small and it is always packed.
Especially during the Nas concert I was being crushed and there was a guy standing next to me who kept jumping on top of people, especially me and kept elbowing me in the face.
They were also throwing water on the crowd and I had to try and protect my camera from that.

I wil try and work on it, though. Maybe at some quieter concerts with less famous bands I could move around more. And that will help in trying to shoot the other perfromers as well. Although I think the drummer is always so hard to get. In this club the stage is pretty high and the drummer is way in the back. Even if I stand on my toes, I usually can't get a clear shot in.

I am having a very hard time using flash. I have a Sony F707 and the built-in flash just doesn't work under these conditions. It usually yields an image that is mostly white. Probably because of the stage-lights. Do you think I should get a separate flash unit? I can't figure out how to meter the light properly using flash though.

What! You're not using a Canon? Tsk tsk tsk.
