Hey guys! boy its been a while! Im doing band photography for my boyfriends Pink floyd tribute band and for those of you who know pink floyd, you no its all about the light show soo i need a lens that will specifically allow me to take some decent pictures of the lights! im currently using a Nikon D3000 so any advice on what lens i should use and if anybody could possibly point me into the right direction for one that would be fab! Cheers guys!
All you need is a lens that can open largely to give you enough light in order to achieve a safe handheld shutter speed - a large aperture such as f/1.4, f/1.8, f/2.8, etc. depending on the light level in the hall / room.
Be aware that these lenses can be quite expensive.
If you want to photograph “only” the lights that might be a different matter.
