[QUOTE="Charles Harrigan, post: 16333, member: 23"] Re: Concert Photography personally, I get the best results with fast primes. My personal favorite is my 50mm f1.7 My A500 can shoot at high ISO with low noise which helps quite a bit. Generally i'm shooting at ISO 3200 and get shots like this. Though recently I've been so busy at shows that i don't have much time do do much besides shoot a few before the show starts.
