Hi,
I'm going to a gig (indoors) next week with my EOS-350D/Digital Rebel. I only have the one prime lens. It's a fairly small venue without seating so I should be able to get close to the stage. Does anyone have any advice on what sort of camera settings I should use to get reasonable shots of the musicians without a tripod, or any other tips? Bearing in mind I'm new to this sort of photography (and full manual mode is also new to me!)
