It is sayd before, but don't use flash. Another thing. Since its a local band, and their asking you to photograph, tell them not to wear anything white. White shirts and black backgrounds ruined many of my shots at Førde Folkemusikk Festival :-(

Like others have said, spot meter the faces. If you can't, definitely underexpose a bit. You're shooting neg, so you'll have plenty of latitude. Stage lighting creates very contrasty situations, and although Mark uses flash, I wouldn't consider it unless it was a rehearsal scenario with no audience. When I go to a concert as a paying customer, I want to see the band without flash, thanks. You'll enjoy yourself and shoot far too much ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
