I think you should go to the settings of a barconcert instead of a stageconcert. When I do a bargig I work at High ISO (3200 or higher) and a 24/70 at F2.8. I f you can manipulate the lights or the position of the bandmembers try to get some light directly on them. When the faces are well lit...

I worked in manual mode with the Iso on 1600 I allowed tho underexpose for 2/3 of a stop. To get well exposed shots I waited for for the light to be on the subject. I always worked with the backbutton focus I don't know if the 5200 can do this. if possible you can set it on auto ISO if you can...

How I started at the time with my D90 and kitlenses

I have the experience you better keep managers ( clubs and bands) as friend. It makes things easier in the future. Explain what your going to do and why, show the pics, gain confindence. On a crop a 50mm is a bit long in small clubs I always used a 24-70 in combination with a 70-200 on a crop...

on my blog I have my tips for concert photography I translated them here. Concert Photography what and how? my tips for great concert photos. Get to know your camera, finding your settings blindly is a 'must'. Work in manual mode, I have more misses with shutter or aperture priority. Your...

If you are shore you can take your camera, then do take it is the only way to learn this kind of photography. I'm a volunteer for a website who publishes concertreviews in Belgium and I I've seen cameras been taken by security because off no permission and I know lots of veneues where there is...

My overall idea is don't take your camera when you're not shore you can take in. Getting an accreditation for the photo pit isn't easy, you ll need an medium behind you where the photos will be published. On lots of smaller (free) festivals it isn't a problem to shoot from the public. But my...

Thanks, when I have the time I prepare by scanning recent youtube films about recent concerts to know where to be at what time. @danielfellowes Wow Do I like the 'Rise against' shot on your flickr.

thanks, May be that is a good idea, The experience I have with portraiture is that guiding the models is'nt easy. And the first time it confused me because I'm used to adapt the exposure to the lighting and not to adapt the light to the settings. Street photography I never done. I do some...

In Focus and well exposed is'nt the problem I think It is more the creative site that bothers me sometimes. So I obliged myself to use both 20-70 and 70-200 lenses during at least 1 song to get more variation in the results. The wider I go the dificlulter I find it it to get the composition ok...

Well I'm still regulary a bit jealous when I see the magazine pics and the photos in booklets of CD's. I don't see what I have to do to get to that level. Secondly I think I'm not consistent enough, I can't garantee very good photos ervery time and I think I need to more severe in selecting...

these threads I started the 'photo people and portraits' forum https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/10cc.648495/ https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/metalfest.648564/ https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/am%C3%B6rtiseur-metalfest.648727/...
