Peaches, La Route du Rock, 13/08/26

Shot from the second row. What a crazy show.

Olympus E-M5 Mark III, Olympus 75mm 1.8

It was my first time using this lens for a concert. It worked well, but you can feel the limits of micro four thirds with the noise. I think i'll get DXO PureRaw at some point. Lightroom noise rediction has it's limits.

Anyway, i think this is a great setup to bring in concerts, if allowed. Good range and aperture for the size.

Let me know how you like the pics. It's my first time posting here.

any lens recommendation for dark indoor concert photography?

I have a sony a6000, I am trying to get into concert photography in small venues and bars, my kit lens is not great in the darkness at the venues. Could anybody recommend a lens under £400 as a begginer concert photographer thanks.

Advice for Insane Clown Posse shooting?

Hey all!

I’m a house photographer at a venue in the states, I’ve been assigned to shoot an Insane Clown Posse show and I accepted knowing some of the caveats of shooting that show. A couple questions:

  1. If you’ve shot them before, how did you protect your gear? I usually do a 2 body setup on straps but think I’ll need to do a single cam to avoid ruining my straps.
  2. Any luck/contact info on contacting their tour to do shots on stage? I feel like I might be more out of the splash zone and have a better shot that way.
  3. Any other advice? Am I going to look like an idiot if I wear a poncho?

Thanks in advance!!

Photo

I just started taking pictures at hc concerts, my kit is a canon 60d with a 10 20mm f4 and a godox tt685, I haven't taken flash pictures at concerts yet so the question is: how useful is a flash diffuser? I'm someone who plays a lot with editing and color. I really like Kevoscope as a photographer, who attended Hellfest this year, and I'd love to see how he manages to achieve that light. I'm afraid I'll mess up the flash, so I'm asking for advice...

Risked bringing my X-T30 II + Viltrox 28mm pancake to a The Weeknd concert (RAW + Lightroom)

IG: bringmethefujifilm

Right before going through security, I saw a girl in front of me getting turned away and forced to check in her tiny compact digital camera. My heart sank, but I decided to take the risk anyway.

I buried my X-T30 II with the Viltrox 28mm pancake at the very bottom of my small bag, completely covering it with my wallet, documents, and headphones. Security glanced inside, didn't notice a thing, and let me right through!

All shots were taken in RAW and processed in Lightroom.

I love how compact this setup is for stealth mode, but I’m currently thinking about taking a step up. I'm torn between upgrading within the system to the Fujifilm X-H2 or switching over to full-frame with the Sony A7C II.

Has anyone made a similar jump? Would love to hear your thoughts!
