Behind The Lens

Location
This was taken in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Time
Late afternoon before the concert. He was doing a soundcheck for his concert coming up in a few hours time
Lighting
It was in quite a dark hall but enough ambient light to shoot using natural light. For all live events I shoot, you need to learn to use available natural light and/or stage lighting. The bigger the star = The bigger the crowd and the less space available. Keep moving and work out early in the act what the colour sequence is being used and make adjustments to your shutter speed without having to bump your ISO up too much.
Equipment
My trusty old Nikon D610 for this shot
Inspiration
He was an icon to the music world in Zimbabwe
Editing
Basic Photoshop, nothing too hectic
In my camera bag
Nikon D850, Nikon f/2.8 70-200 mm and a Tamron f/2.8 24-70 mm. Water.
Feedback
Shooting live events is generally low light situations and the only available light is that generated by the stage lighting, so you have to keep moving around. When the colours are in sync keep count of the seconds when the best neutral light is coming. The colours may look cool but they can blow you out sometimes. Avoid live event shooting spots on the stage or in the crowd where the light is coming straight at you. Move to the side or even behind the stage. Always get to know the tech crew who are handling the lighting and sound. Be respectful and they will work with you. If you can get into a soundcheck before the event...that is always a big win!
