Spectacular Concert Photography... in a Pub

http://SmokingStrobes.com/ConcertPhotography - Last vid before Chinese New Year break! Let's face it: If you show up to the next Rolling Stones concert with your fat boy DSLR and a monster zoom, then you won't have the slightest chance to get past the bouncers, let alone in front of the stage. To get in, you would need an accreditation from a music magazine, who loves your concert photos and wants you to shoot the Stones for them. Making a music mag loving your photos? Sounds at least easier than knocking down the bouncers. So let's start right now with some lovely concert photos in a bar in which you are perceived as the friend and not as the enemy. You'll make photos good enough to convince your first music mag.

I wish you good light!

Thanks man! If you don't mind I would like to hear more about music/pub/club photography. Thanks dude

[MrBlofeld007]

I'd watch any of your videos, even the stuff I'm not really in to, as I still learn something which I can use later.

Good tips, hope you do more of these live performance tutorials. A lot of my friends are musicians so this helps all of us! Best regards, Mike

i agree! i shoot concerts/shows all the time, and these tips are extremely useful! i've seen a few more of your videos, and i really like your drawings in them along with your wealth of information and brevity. bravo herr zelbel!

I really enjoy your videos! I disagree that you should just stick to one type of tutorial. While you obviously excel at the beauty photography, your talent applies well in other areas too. I think that you wanting to branch out into other areas helps to add more dimensions to someone's experience, even if it isn't going to be their main focus.

THIS IS GREAT, I LEARNED A LOT AND PREFER THESE TYPE OF TUTORIAL INSTEAD OF THE SEMI NUDE MODEL KIND.....THANKS A LOT!

this really helps me out! can you recommend a speedlight for my camera? I actually just own a camera and have been shooting in RAW format and been doing alot of editing afterwards. I own a canon rebel xsi, and Im looking for a cheaper speedlight or flash that I can also use for beauty photography.

I love doing band photography so it was wonderful seeing a tutorial! thankyou!
