Junk, you are kidding, that's a great set of concert pics, equal to

I've seen presented here before. It seems like there was plenty of
light and it
looks like you were moving about far more than the band members
too, many
interesting angles. :-)
Thanks for the compliments.
I guess I used the word "junk" too loosely. I meant it more in the
sense of "stuff" or "things" as opposed to "garbage". At the same
time, I am definitely my own worst critic and I'm never really happy
with my results, even when others tell me it's good!
Manual focus is the only way for me when shooting bands too. There
is so much
potential for focus and movement problems in shots like this that
you have to
accept that only a few will end up being really sharp regardless of
the gear
you employ.
If I hit a 1-in-10 ratio, I'm happy. I did a little better here -
took about 750 shots and there are just under/over 100 that I
included! Not every one is in sharp focus - sometimes the blur is a
good "effect", and other times the blur is something that I'm
choosing to ignore because there are other things about the shot that
I like.
