Music Photography

Three songs, no flash, low light, other photographers jostling for position, security guards like Rottwiellers, adoring screaming fans.... and a picky editor the next morning... a lot to deal with.
Stage photography is by nature different because you're capturing a performance where practically anything can happen if you haven't seen the show before. And the performers are going to be as dynamic as they ever get.

Its in a class of documentary photography. What happens may only happen once and it is therefore both difficult and fun. What follows is my take on how I feel about it.
I will cover preparation, being ready, passes shooting modes and in particular manual mode.

Gigs are also difficult because of low light and this will in turn dictate your equipment, along with the fact that it's a gig, what you can take with you is heavily dictated.
