So I posted about the accident photo that I loved and it was taken at a concert yesterday. Here's a set from the group.

The first two photo's are of the singer of the band that I'm I guess now the official photographer for. This was the first time I've shot a live concert. I've done portraits and promo shoots for bands, but this was a challenge. Lighting was horrible most of the time.

Pics look pretty nice. I might be shooting a concert in a couple of weeks. Can I ask which lens you used, and at what ISO you had the camera?

Thanks.

I switched between my 55-200mm and my 50mm f1.8. Most of the above shots, if not all of them were with the 50mm. For the shots when it was still daylight I used the 55-200 and backed up and zoomed in to shoot at around 150-200mm. With the 50mm I was shooting at f2.8 while it was still daylight and when it got dark I did use f1.8, but I stayed mostly at f2.8 and used my on board flash with the flash compensation at -0.7 so I wouldn't kill all the ambient light.
