Location
Concert venue Sydney Hi FiTime
Was taken at night during a concertLighting
Stage lighting, LED cans and a lot of smoke in the background.Equipment
Canon 60D, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.Inspiration
I shoot for various music website and it was taken during one of my assignments.Editing
Some adjustments in Lightroom. Lens profiling to take out the wide angel distortion Converting form RAW to JPEG.In my camera bag
Canon 60D, 17-50mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8, 50mm Compact Macro, 55-250mm f4 -5.6, 600 EX-RT speedlite (I have 3, sometime I carry all 3) .Feedback
Shooting concerts, you have to be observant. If you know the band performing , is an advantage.,Usually you are only allowed to shoot the first 3 songs. I try to get a selection of photos of each member of the band. Sometime this is not possible due to stage position, bad lighting and other band members in the way. I Use a fast lens. I mostly use my 17-50mm as I can capture full length body shoots. and zoom in to get head shots. Occasionally I my 24_70mm to zoom in to people at the back of the stage. Basically you are at the mercy of the person on the light desk.
