Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the Mohegan Sun Arena in UNCASVILLE CT.Time
This was probably shot around 8pm as ZZ Top was the opening band for John Fogerty that night.Lighting
The lighting is always changing and a bit tricky at concerts but for this show it was pretty evenEquipment
This image was shot handheld with a Panasonic ZS-80 no flashInspiration
I wanted to get an iconic vertical shot of ZZ Top with a guitar.Editing
Minimal post processingIn my camera bag
I always carry my workhorse Nikon D750 with 12mm-70mm and 70mm-200mm lenses. My Panasonic is a great backup and because it has a fixed lens, most venues allow me to use it without special permissionFeedback
If your new to concert photography and want to replicate a shot like this, just think of it as a portrait except increase your shutter speed to eliminate motion blur.
