ROCK!!!

I had some fun shooting my first ever concert gig last night.

Steep learning curve, but I had a blast.

Those are pretty good.

I tried taking some shots at a friend's gig a while back, but had a lot of trouble shooting in such low light conditions. My main problem was the fact that, due to the low conditions, I needed longer exposure times - and of course, in a rock gig, the band members don't exactly stand still.

Most of my shots came either under-exposed, or blurry.

Any tips?

The first ones a cracker.
Light looks great.
What iso were you using.

Second one looks like Daniel Johns.. Not sure who the other guy is.. Nice pics.

The first shot is great, what lens did you use??

I like the first one. What lens and settings did you use?

That first shot is killer...

Thanks guys, I was pretty stoked with some of the keepers I managed to capture. It was my first time ever shooting available light, so I wasn't expecting to shoot anything decent, to be honest.

20D with the EF 50mm f1.8 II

1/200 sec
f/2.8
1600 ISO

The first shot is a mate of mine.

The second shot is Martin Smith, lead singer of Delirious.

Ahh ok.. hehe.. I got it wrong.. good job anyway.

Great work! Both are excellent

Quite nice! That first shot captured great light on the lead, wonderful capture of the background guy, all set off by the heads/hands of the audience. A rare and well seen combination.

Nice shots.

Dwight hit it on the head! I couldn't figure out what I liked so much about the first shot and that's it! Everything, just makes you feel like part of the audience. And Suuuuper sharp.

haha.. steep learning curve.. hehe.. and it gets steeper as you go on!!
(still fighting with my new lens...)

well done.
