Well there's a nice scabbleword (tripple word value).

Anyhow, this weekend there was a concert by a band called "Van Dik Hout" closeby, and I realised I've never tried to shoot anything like that, so got my D70 and my 70-300mm lens and shot around 50 pictures. I know it's not much, but I really got there too late (free concert in the town square type of thing). So here's some results:

#1 shot this from quite a distance to get the overview of the podium.

#2 This one is the best of the series IMHO (at least to the point of actually being sharp :))

#3 This one I like because of the facial expression

#4 Why is there always someone sitting on the fence :|

#5 play that funky music white boy....

#6 Autograph session. He saw the focuslight coming on and he posed liked this :)

When you walk around with a DSLR and a big lens on it people tend to ask you if you're with the band or work for the newspaper, hehe. I head that question around 5/6 times in the half hour I was there.

Anyone else have experience with concert photography? If so, any usefull tips for the next time this opportunity arises?
