First try at concert photography

[Appaloosa1224]

Well at least my first try in a indoor show with my new camera. Concert was The Drive-By Truckers, 1/16/2010. Amazing band, definitely one of my favorites.

My favorite- Patterson during the encore "People Who Died" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj8YxEqnGWM

Those are awesome... some really fantastic shots...

nice images. Tough in low light like that. What gear are you using? Looks like you were pretty close to the stage too.

I have a Canon 40D and with my sigma 28-80mm lense. I wish I had a better lense for it, but that will be my next purchase. I was right up against the stage, so it made my life much easier. I'm going to take my camera to another show in a couple weeks- any tips?

That style of shooting is definately not my thing. I'd say you did a great job as it was. My only comment would be no to overdo the rotated framing thing. It's cool, but I wouldn't want every shot to be that way.

Yeah, the problem with that was being in a tight spot, not being able to move so I had to work around the mike stands. It's definitely difficult when you only have a 1x1 foot area to work in.

What setting did you have your camera set on? Everything looks great
