anyone here shooting concerts regularly or often?
recently upgrade my body to K5 and tried to shoot the outdoor performance at esplanade with my DA 55300.
1st try seems worst then on my Kx. Noise was pretty bad, might have been because i was using iso6400 and had high iso NR turned on. focusing was bad, had review the pics today. was pretty sure i focus on the performers face for at least 95% of the time but the pics seems to say otherwise.
other setting was spot metering, center focus & AV mode.Did tried TVAV earlier on but iso was jumping all around so switch back to AV. And i though last night (24-Dec) had semi decent lighting.
any advise can be given? kinda hook on shooting at the outdoor theaters for over a year plus already, will shoot there whenever i have the chance on weekends.
want to improve the % of keepers. have a 2875 F2.8 tamron, would that do assuming i am in the 1st or 2nd row of the theaters ?
below are some sample. resize only and no pp done on it. gears used are as written above.
pic 1: noise very apparent.
pic 2: focus seems to be on the cymbal ?
hope i did post in the correct section.
