Can anyone give me tips when photographing bands in low light areas, with coloured lights too.
It's the lights, usually red or green that usually mess me up when taking photos. Thanks.

hi,

i shot the austin nightclub scene for a couple of years. i found that shooting a high ISO, leave room for blur/or not with the timing, yielded excellent results for me. my feeling was that a very static shot of the austin muicians did not capture the moment, as it were. i was shooting a canon 10D, both wide and zoom for different effects. pls see my images on this site bill wasp

Hi Liz,
You may want to check out my photos also. I shoot often with and without flash. Sometimes its necessary to use flash from a distance and still get a great effect. other times not, it depends on the venue and how much lighting they are putting on thier stage. One place has no lights for the band, its like they are in total darkeness. Lower shutter speeds in that case will cause blur becuase the band is usually moving quite a bit. Their heads bobbing, guitars swinging etc.
I use around a 800 ISO mostly. And a lot of times shoot auto, FOR THE SHOT, sometimes you do not have time to fiddle with your settings.
Just a beginners input,
Alan

Back to the grind for me today. Here's a shot from yesterday I submitted to TV as "Bloomin' Bradfords". I know, it's not a silouette!
