You can get a lot done at a concert with a 50mm, if you can get somewhat close to the stage.

Thank you for sharing. Really a good fl!

The 50 is good for head and shoulders shots, at least.

Yes. Depends on the distance one is allowed to have, of course.

Regarding the WB, I just leave it on auto. A guy could go insane trying to make each pic have the proper skin tones.. or just embrace the crazy colored lighting and work with it. In this case, they're an '80s New Wave tribute band so the bright colors are appropriate.

Thank you. In line with what the others said.

Regards,

Martin

You're welcome, and thank you!  Glad you liked the pics
