So the premise is, I am attending a charity gig with a few bands playing. There is no onus on me to come away with anything useable because I asked my friend who is organising it if I could practice my technique and should I get anything good, themselves and the bands can use them for future promotion.
I don't need advice on getting paid, or protecting my work. As it's a charity gig and everyone is doing it entirely for the benefit of the charity with no remuneration. And my main goal is to have some good pictures for myself.
I have limited equipment, and will not be using a flash.
Camera: Nikon D5200
Lenses I can take: 50mm 1.8, 18-55mm kit lens, 70-300 manual focus f/4-5.6 and a helios 44-2 58mm (MF).
I'm expecting quite a lot of movement from the musicians, so will most likely need to keep my SS up.
I should be able to get pretty close to the stage, if not virtually on it, but I have no way of checking out the venue until the day as I don't live anywhere near, however, there is a Venue spec sheet here.
All advice/suggestions welcome.
