Hi
I went to an Avril Lavigne concert on friday, and took some photos, but none of them turned out very well.
This is the best I could manage. And while it looks quite cool (imo) its not very clear.
Is there any way to get good quality concert photos from the back of a hall when its dark?

A big wide F1.4 zoom/fixed lens and ISO1600+ (film quality).
The best way it to get closer and bring along a powerful flash. :-)
edit1: You would loose some of the nice colors. :-(

Hmm I guess you need really good eqipment then, not what I have :(
Does anyone have any tips for basic cameras that can get better results?

I was on hand to help record Bob Frank at the Freight and Salvage music club in Berkeley last night. This was the best I was able to get while also trying to nurse along my laptop, a cssette deck, and a camcorder! Oh yeah, and try and listen too...

Use a good, fast telephoto lens. Personally, I use a 70-200 f/2.8 to go with my Canon D60. With your camera, however, you might be better off wringing the ISO way up (remember to turn the colour saturation down at the same time), and give it your best shot. Because your lens is brighter on wide angle than on zoom, try to stick to wide angle. Also beware that you can get in BIG trouble if you get caught taking pictures without having a permit - worst case scenario is getting your camera taken from you and being thrown out of the concert. Both of which is bad news.

| I went to see Tom Paxton last night and got a couple of semi-decent shots of him and the opening act. |
