Location
The photo was taken at the grand opening of Caesar's Casino in Windsor Ont.Time
The photo was taken in a concert setting inside the casino.Lighting
The only light I used was available lighting. I photographed the photo at F 4.5 at 1/125 of a sec., ISO set at 800.Equipment
I used a Nikon D300, 18mm - 70mm Nikkor lens 1:3.5 - 4.5. Camera was hand held and no tripod used and no flash.Inspiration
The setting and first and foremost Billy Joel !Editing
For post processing I used Photoshop and Topaz labs, Photoshop for cropping and some minor editing and Topaz Labs for stabilizing photo and tuning the color.In my camera bag
I normally carry two camera bodies, a flash, wide angle lens, all around lens and two telephoto lens' a 70-200 and a 150 to 600mm, batteries, memory cards, plastic garbage bag in case it rains, chargers, gray card, tripod.Feedback
Do some research on concert photography first and if you can get your camera into a concert setting have fun and enjoy the music.
