>>2925864Okay thank you for the helpful critiques, I haven't been doing concert photography all that long, since December 2015, so I'm still getting a hold of it, but I feel like I've done adequate so far. I'm going to try to be more conscious of those moments, and try to capture them. I'm not trying to be an asshole that thinks his work is the pinnacle of concert photography when I post here, I'm more of a motivator to others that it's relatively easy to get in this field of work. I probably come off as a pretentious asshole.
The last four or five shows I've shot have been at this outdoor venue near Portland, OR, and I don't really like shooting at it. I prefer smaller venues for both shooting, and seeing shows. Way more intimate between you and the band. The show I'm shooting at this Tuesday is at a small little bar-type venue, maybe 100 or so people capacity, and this will be the first time I will be shooting there. I'll keep in mind your pointers.
pic related: from a show I was snuck into (I was 19, and it was at a 21+ little basement bar-type venue.) that has good interaction between bandmates I think.
