Photographing Crowds at Concerts

Push the ISO

Concerts are typically shrouded in darkness with intermittent lighting, but because of their busy nature they are no place for a tripod, so you’ll have little choice but to ramp up the ISO.  Before you attend the concert take a series of shots of the same low-light scene at different ISOs, you’ll then be able to gauge at what point noise becomes too distracting. Then when you attend the concert be sure not to go too far above this sensitivity. For the best results, team your camera with a fast lens to capture the action at a wider aperture.
