not that bad pics but nothing too unusual, with a good light you can possibly shoot like this without a problem.
... заметил что можно по русски тоже писать.

Thanx =) for commenting.. by light d'you mean just good light on the concert itself or that a good flash is required?

Anyway I'm not trying to search smth unusual... it's a bit hard to make any unusual photos on concerts, since it depends on the artist's behaviour on the stage... but I just want clear photos with good light and nice colors to satisfy my own needs =) I know. that I'm doing smth wrong but I can't understand, what =(

Yes, certainly, Russian is also availavble since it's my native language.

No, not flash! Flash is impossible to use on most concerts. Only if you shoot off the wall/ceiling. Often, it's just forbidden as well.

I am just curious why wouldn't you use russian with me :) I do not care really, but... just wonder.

[agatha_christie]

Well, really I don't know why I've switched to English... but just it's easier sometimes than to write in Russian... may be it's connected with my work.. I never write in Russian and speak it only with my colleagues in the office... and other time only English...In case I have to write something in Russian, especially connected with business, I have to consult someone in order to avoid mistakes.. =(((

But in case it annoys you I'll use Russian but please disregard my mistakes than =)

And about the flash... For example, On Friday there was a N.O.M. concert (really famous and old SpB group) and it was in a tiny Project OGI club... where all light it's just a small bulb above the stage.. and as a result shooting without flash on aperture 2.8, ISO 1600 gave absolutelly disgusting reddish photos... anyway it was quite ok with a flash...

Wow, I've had a look at your photos... they are absolutely awesome!!! How long have you been shooting?

[tsukasa]

couple of years :)

[agatha_christie]

mmm.. I guess some people have talent - others just crooked hands =(

[tsukasa]

I do not have much talent. I just routinely learn how to do things the best way. And still a lot to learn, I have around 500 pages of compositional / photoshopping books just ahead.

[agatha_christie]

Really when I come to the book shop lots of different manuals can be found... and to understand what is worth reading and what is just waste of time - it's quite hard...the same thing happens with photo courses that can be found in Moscow...since I even can't find the one that totally satisfy my needs...
