I am by no means a concert photographer. My roommate's band had a gig at the Crump Theater and asked me if I could take some shots for their band. His dad is the bass guitarist and lead singer, his younger brother is the drummer, a family friend is the lead guitarist, and my roommate is another lead guitarist.

They've been a band for a couple years, and I liked what I heard. They're a hard rock/punk band.. not really big yet but still sounded amazing live.

Anyways, here are some of the shots I liked the most, and a link to the gallery. Taken with my 50D, 17-50mm 2.8, at ISO 3200 for the most part.

    These aren't bad, Jeremy, except several look a bit soft - motion blur? Sadly, 2.8 often isn't enough for this kind of lighting. You may want to sharpen some of them up in processing. Looks like you caught the action well though - bet your roommate is pleased!

    Well, I think the softness may be partly the Noise Reduction... I didn't do each picture individually, I just took em through a batch process in noise ninja.

    But, I agree that the 2.8 was not fast enough for the setting... I think my average shutter speed was 1/80th? maybe a little faster, but not good for handheld in extremely low light.

    #2 could have been really cool with some faster glass. A bit too much lost in the shadow for my taste.

    I like how the light flared off the guitar in #4.

    Actually, most of the loss was due to how I post processed it. I was going for a more grungy look, too much? I'm still not amazing with pp...
