While most Melbournians were at the Grand Prix, I went to see a concert with Guy Sebastian - our first Australian Idol!

Thoughts of concert photo tips and techniques crossed my mind as I set my camera on ISO400 (the highest it can do at full resolution) and continuous shooting mode. It took 5 frames consecutively, which is good and well, because out of 200, I think only about 15 turned out sharp by pure luck.















My camera's largest aperture at full zoom was 3.1, so I was pretty fortunate. Flash off of course.

Oh, for those interested - he's a R&B-ish singer. The concert was awesome!

Awesome pictures, ST! My favorite is #4, the light beams coming down are just great!

Thanks! Yeah the lighting was very well done... probably the reason why I could get some acceptable hand held pics. Would have been impossible otherwise...

ST you got beautiful pictures in that concert. I like them all but I have some favorites I like #1 because it is very environmental, gives a complete idea, and the lights are really nice. #3 is lovely. I like the smile of the guitarrist. He was very happy... #4 is great... #6 is also very nice, I like the place he takes in the picture...

#5 and #7 would fit nicely in the blue assignment

Irma.

Thanks for the compliments Irma... it was a great concert indeed.

What camera was it? Did some at a Sophie Monk concert last year with a Fuji S2 Pro set at 800, came out quite well.

I used a Fuji S5000...

Very nice shots, ST.

Does show that a "fairly" simple camera can do very well if used intelligently.
