You have some great pictures on here.
A friend of mine has asked if I would try and take some pictures when his band play a gig in a few weeks. It will be a challenge as I’ve never tried any gig photography before.
Thanks again Sharon! With live music, you usually have to have some fast glass…2.8 or larger apertures(ie smaller number like 1.2-2.0-2.8)…kit lenses not so much depending on light…and/or flash will be required…
And then, push ISO, open up to fastest aperture and try to maintain a shutter speed that will allow you to capture the action…typical settings in a darker club would be f1.8, shutter 1/60, iso 1600.
