Well.. I tell ya.. I have a blast last night with my husband. We haven't been out to a bar in such a long time.. it's more for us a movie and dinner..
He had some well deserved beers and I just did my photography thing.
The band was awesome.. the beer was expensive and the people were great.

I thank everyone that helped me with the settings and advice for doing some photos. It helped and worked!!!!!!!!!!
I went through a 4g, 2g and 1 1/2 g..and two batteries..
It was hard.. you have to catch them at the right time and the right light.. I think I did pretty well.. but this is a great experience for me.. which I was wondering if there was a filter for the lens to cut out or soften the red light.. ???????????
I just wanted to share one photo,, I have tons of photos to go through, weed out and edit what I can, and will upload them.. and send you the link,, if you would like to view..

Again.. thanks so much!!!!!!!

 Congrats on the photo. I hope to see more soon!

Nice to see it went ok :)

For the "red" if you shot anything in RAW you can change all that using the WhiteBalance (or Colour Temperature) Slider in the conversion program.  If not, then it is a bit trickier... But you need to play with the colour channels in some way - how you do that depends on your editing program but basically you need to reduce the red channel and boost the other two slightly... it wont get it perfect but it will take away much of the colour cast. Or the quick and dirty method is to put a "Cooling filter" on the photo - in photoshop just add a "Photo filter" adjustment layer and the rest is obivous. However, a lot of band shots tend to look like this anyway - it seems "acceptable" from what i have seen of gig photography... tho how much you want to accept the "unacceptable" is up to you ;)

If you are shooting JPG i would suggest that next time you go out either shoot in raw (will need more cards then ;)) or "white balance" your camera to the lights (as long as they dont change too much - you will know if they do if all your photos have the same colour cast this time around).

Looks like you put up a few duplicates or multiple shots only a few miliseconds apart... i would recommend cherry picking the best... saves time in uploading and sorting out for posting online and also makes "viewing" easier for others.

Black and white was a good idea - those shots really are red... was the light pure red to your eyesight?

I am deleteing photos now.. your right.. sorry about that..

about the red.. that is how they photos came out..

I like the red, it adds more warmth and feeling of the evening.   Well done.

Nice shots.  Looks like you had fun.

I am happily impressed, nicely done.  The red to me in the one photo on the forum looks fine and adds to the mood of a club shot.

What Rich said about white balance is right on target..then again, with correction you might find the shots less like the actual scene and revert to the red tones. Who knows but you, with tons of shots to edit and review...: )    Also, yes, the black/white shots work well for me.
