Last night, I was taking some pictures at a concert of cabaret music, so I thought I would share a couple of shots. Taking photos of concerts or stage works can be tricky, because the automatic light sensors in the camera tend to mess everything up. You have to play around with your settings to know (and guess) what will work in different kinds of low light situations. Although it wasn't incredibly dark in the hall, I found that I had to go to a higher ISO (640-800) to get a fast enough shutter speed so that the subjects were not blurred out.
In a way, photos of a concert are like photojournalism, because they are not posing as you take the picture. But, they generally are going to be in the same small area for a certain amount of time. The problem is that they don't usually stay still while they're in that small area. Always waving their arms about, and singing and performing...
