This looks fun, but I don't own a flash (I don't use it enough to justify an external and the XTI onboard sucks) but my Sigma 30mm 1.4 should be pretty good right? Anyone used it in this kind of setting? My other 2 lenses are Canon 100mm and 50mm 1.8 which people in this thread have been using so at least I can fall back on those.

I just wish I had an XSI, its a lot better on higher ISO's than the XTI (which gets grainy as all gently caress)

Thanks for the guide
I just started trying my camera out at concerts and I have a similar setup, I'm using a Sigma 50mm 1.4 with my XSI and no flash. These are a couple of my faves from my 2 whole attempts so far.













No post outside of some minor brightness tweaking with the stock Canon software (and the b/w filter on the first, he was solely under a red stagelight)

If its in Hell, they're way more lax than if its in Heaven (which I'm sure Summer Slaughter was). I don't think I'd risk shooting from the pit at that show, but I'm anal about crap happening to my camera. If you want a photo pass for a show there, you definitely need to get ahold of someone thats a part of the tour. Any one of the tour managers for the bands can put your name on a photo pass list at the will call window, so emailing a bunch of them a couple days before the show usually will do the trick. As a last resort, if you get their a little early, the bands park out front and are going in and out with equipment and you can talk to them directly.

I know this is too late to help you for that specific show, but hopefully it's useful for the future.

These are a couple of my favorites from the "10 for 10" tour a couple weeks ago.
