I think they came out pretty good. The majority of the shots were taken with the INDOOR setting - I started out trying to use some of the more advanced pointers you guys so graciously gave but I panicked under the pressure and ended up just going with a built-in setting. They were coming out great... until they turned on the fog machine. That just killed the tiny amount of available light I had. Still, I think these were an improvement and it'll take me a few shows to get into the groove. I have another show on Saturday to get more practice.

I took shots of two bands: Dark Tranquility and Opeth. Opeth was the band I was there to see but the Dark Tranquility pictures turned out better. I believe this is because a) there was more available light, b) no fog machine, and c) Opeth doesn't move around a lot, limiting my potential for getting pictures of everyone. Dark Tranquility was all over the stage and I got a great variety.

A few of my favorites: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Incidentally, these look a lot darker on my work monitor than they do on the LCD at home. They kind of look crappy on this CRT. *pout*

Again, thanks to all, and I'm going to take some time tonight to learn my camera a little better before Saturday's show, so I don't crumble again :)

Criticisms welcome.

Nice. The cropping is much better. I like the flying dreads picture.

Me too. He had the coolest dreads I have ever seen. I had a little bit of a man crush.
