Hi Dan,
Excellent article.
I’ve been shooting at concerts for a couple of years now and its still always a challenge.
Something you don’t mention in your article is exposure compensation.
Do you usually dial any EV compensation in? and if so, how much?

Hey Dan,
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this online! It is a great help and a great reference point. I am going crazy deciding what to do – upgrade the body or the lens… Your tips where a great help in the decision process.
Cheers!

Hey man – this is an amazing article.
Been really helpful for me as of late – I did my first shoot last night where I experimented without using flash – it’s hard stuff. Especially in these local clubs/pubs with sh*t lighting. But I liked the more dramatic effect of not having flash.
Do you find that a lot of your non-flash shots are underexposed on the camera? Should I let this put me off or…?
Also, when using flash; do you prefer to freeze and action or have those blurry action shots [which I feel are over used sometimes]?
Thanks.
Russ.

Excellent tutorial! I’ve been dabbling in concert photography over the last 7 or 8 years and rarely get awesome shots. There are tons of great tips in your article and I plan on getting back out there and trying some new things out! Thanks so much.
