Shooting Concerts With f/4.5? I’m pretty new to photography and want to shoot some pics of my friend’s band soon. I’m using a Canon EOS Elan with a 35-105mm f/4.5-5.6 lens, and I’ve read that f/4.5 is small for concerts but I don’t have any smaller. I also don’t have a tripod and even if I did it wouldn’t be feasible to use in this venue. My question is, then, what film spee…

For people in an orchestra, how do you feel playing concerts with pop artists? I’ve always wondered how symphony musicians feel about playing pop concerts with popular musicians (Ben Folds, Lana Del Ray, Bobby Weir, etc.). Are they happy to play for a new audience and people who have passion for music? Is it insulting to play pop music? A mix of emotions, depending on which person you ask? submitted by /u/rotomotor …

Budget lens to shoot concerts? I’ve always wanted to own a Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 for shooting concerts, but my budget is tight right now. I’m looking for a more affordable alternative that still gets the job done. I considered the Sony 70-200mm f/4, which sells for around 1,000€ where I live, but I’m concerned about its aperture limitations for concert photography. I also shoo…

Tiny desk concerts Is it me or are most of the NPR Music tiny desk concerts way better performances of songs than the studio-recorded ones on Spotify? The instrument mixing is so much more crisp.

What are your reasons for attending less concerts this year? Here’s mine: The price of tickets, and everything else, skyrocketing. Restaurants, rent, car insurance, gas, groceries, medical insurance…everything is up, up, up. The blatant, obvious scams done by Big Ticket: “Premium” seats, siphoning tickets to their own reseller site, crazy surcharges, etc. My hunger for live music post-pandemic has lessened. Havin…

Questions about concerts/festivals Hey, so I love music and it’s something I’m very passionate about, but I didn’t actually grow up with concerts at all and have never been to one. I’m very curious to experience some of my favourite music live, but I’ve always had a few questions about attending live shows. Since a lot of music I like is metal and rock, I’ve wondered how well I c…

Amazing concerts that were in empty venues. Has anybody been to a show that was amazing or special in a (proportionally) empty venue. If the place holds 10 people and 9 were there it doesn’t count. For me what comes to mind is seeing baroness play in Vegas. It was a tiny venue, I think max 100 but only like 20 showed up. They still killed. It broke my heart though 😂 submitted by /u…

Bob Dylan does not allow phones at his concerts I went to a Bob Dylan concert the other day and they locked our phones up in little bags. I asked a security guard about it and he said apparently if Bob sees a camera flash or hears a phone go off, he stops playing and singles out the person and throws them out. In terms of the concert, it was Bob Dylan, so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away,…
