Concert Photography
Tried my hand at concert photography for the first time. Damn it's hard!!
Here are 2 keepers from about 30 taken: Used Nikon 50mm1.8. Both shots where at ISO800, f/1.8, no flash, handheld. PP included: Cropping Noise removal (with Noise Ninja) Sharpening (with High-Pass Filter) 
Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Cheers - beej
Thanks embi, looks great!
Didn't even think of trying B&W. It brings out the detail in the face, not like the flat red in the colour version What was the process you used? (no idea when it comes to B&W) Cheers - beej
I dont normally coment on pics as i am no expert btu to me they look a little bit red for me.. but you may like them like that as thats how it may have appeared at night
i tryed in ps2 just going to image.. adjustments.. auto levels and i got the man to look like the pic below... 
BUT you probably like the red light effect of your pic p.s. hope you dont mind the pp of the pic Hame p.s. what was the concert ? ?
Beej, don't you think concert lighting can give this effect? I like hame's effort. In fact I prefer it to the original, but please no offence intended,
just personal preference  I know nutzinc
marcus, none taken
 the more i look at hame's version, the more i like it.
hame, the gig was of a reggae band called Skanknation at Tresellies Nightclub in Katoomba. Yesterday was the Winter Magic Festival up there. - beej
Well i hope you had a good night up there
 but i think it must have been a bit cold up there as his face is pink but his hands now look cold and a bit yellow (i am sure it is the light and i wonder if some one from this forum can with out too much trouble make his hands look more like his face in colour )

I agree that concert photography is not easy, but your two pictures capture the atmosphere. The first one is a bit soft, maybe it'd worth to increase the ISO and close down the aperture at f/2.0 (wide open, f/1.8, this lens is a bit soft). The second one is nice too but moving a bit on the left, if possible, would have perfected the composition (the micro in the singer's left cheek is a bit distracting).
