Last one guys, I have a photo pass for the gig, does that cover me for the support bands? These again are major label bands, but really want to get to them, to set myself for the main event so to speak, but not sure if I need to seek permission or whether pass covers me for all bands, even if not am going to risk it to get shots.

Again at smaller gigis with label bands, have been fine, but this act is top 10, and don't want to make any mistakes, not that I am nervous.

It's the only way i can now look at beautiful women and stare without getting a slap from the GF:lol:
 
who are you shooting??
a press pass will get you into the pit for all your stuff
it's not an all access pass though, back stage etc

first three songs, no flash is the usual thing
make sure you're considerate to the other toggers and the pit bouncers will keep you in line if you forget how many songs have been played ( like I often did)

good luck!
 
the band is The Saturdays. Not my music at all, but great chance to add to my portfolio.

Cheers Matt, thought it would be, just best to check as this is first top 40 band I have shot(although the beautiful Lilly Allen is to come later in the year) as I mainly shoot small label Indie bands. It's the standard first three songs.

Any tips on what to try out of the norm, or reccomend any good sites to check out on shooting bands?
 
fast glass with high apertures (but be careful with focusing), i use spot metering to focus on the musicians face rather than the lighting or the musician behind them, medium zoom i'd say too (17-70 or something like that)
