I was able to see them a few weeks ago when they came to Detroit (and last year as well), but the place that they play at I know wouldn't let me bring in a pro camera if I tried. And even if I did, I would have to shoot far away because they DO allow crowd surfing and the twice I've been to FM, I've been kicked in the face. All in good fun though! As for other bands/venues, I have no clue. I usually see "no professional cameras," so I guess I'm going to have to start with more local bands. I've gotten some good shots with my panasonic point-and-shoot, but I would kill to bring a better camera with me.

jackpot posted:Yeah, what really grinded on my nerves all night long was the fact that there were 300 other people there with p&s cameras standing two feet from the stage shooting away with impunity. With flash, the fuckers, right in the band's faces. I console myself with the knowledge that I got better pictures than they did, hopefully. That's awful. But yeah, even with the flash (which I never do at concerts, unless the band says it's ok- like Keane), the pictures look god-awful unless you are standing right in front of them anyway. It cracks me up when I look at their LCD right after and it's a black mess.

jackpot posted:There's another good show coming in a few weeks (Reverend Peyton's Big drat Band!), hopefully I can take what I learned and use it there. They are awesome!  (When they played with Flogging Molly last year- they moved around a lot, so it was hard to get a good shot with the crowd moving, them moving, and my old p&s-w/out a flash) What kinds of lenses do people recommend for concerts? Or is it more playing around with the ISO/shutter speed?
