TPF Noob!
tomorrow night my friend's band is playing at this club downtown and i plan to go to the show. i figure, since i'm going i may as well take the camera along and see if i can get some decent shots of them on stage and such. i'll be able to get fairly close to the stage i'm sure. it's not a very big club or anything and i always find my way up there at some point to hand the bassist a beer anyway. ;-) i'm a good friend like that.
so, it's a fairly dark place but of course the stage will be lit up and i'll have my digital camera plus my SLR there with me... and a tripod of course. i was just wondering how many of you have had decent results in the sort of lighting situation that concerts and clubs typically tend to offer and if you had any tips you think may help me achieve the best results possible.
ultimately i'd like to end up letting the band use some of the photos if they'd like to, but i'm not telling them ahead of time that i'm even going to shoot any. i don't want them to get their hopes up in case all my pictures suck. ;-)
so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance guys.
