How To Take Good Pictures At Concerts
I’ve searched for tips on how to take good pictures at concerts, but all I’ve ever found were guides for professional photographers taking pictures from the stage.
I’m not a pro, and evidently, you aren’t either. I’m a rebel who sneaks cameras into big arenas. Cheap, sneaky, distance photography and professional, decent, portrait photography are two different things. But just because we aren’t technically supposed to have cameras doesn’t mean we can’t get a few nice shots for our collection, right?
The problems
Taking pictures at concerts presents quite a few problems, namely:
Your subject is far away.
Your subject is moving (in most cases).
You’re moving.
It’s dark.
This generally results in pictures that are:
Too small.
Too blurry.
Too dark.
Too grainy.
Forget composition, forget the rule of thirds, forget all that fancy-schmancy artsy-fartsy stuff. If you have a blurry picture, you have a bad picture, plain and simple
