Best one I think, the group one is composed alright but I think you're timing was a little off (You can get some incredibly unflattering faces in a gig shot).

The other two, I'm not really fond of, might be a personal thing but I just can't stand seeing the guitar cut off like that. It seems like you're trying to fit both singer and drummer in one shot, but can't quite pull it off.

I would suggest tighter crops. Or maybe a lot more PP. Now everything just seems to blend with the background.

Actually thats motion blur, As you can see with the Drums he would still be in the DOF.

Also did you get any like single portrait shots? Anything vertical orientated?

most of them i didnt like or it was bad timing and they moved so it was overly blurred, so i threw them out.

there was equipment on the ground in front of the stage so i couldnt get closer to get tighter portraits, though.

Love it, much better than the other two I think.

It's a bitch shooting something as active as a gig at 1/30 or 1/40 isn't it?

yes, it is. and red lighting too. man, red lighting sucks.

Looks great. Practice, practice, practice and the bands will start to come to you. If you pre-set the White Balance red lights are not as much of an issue (unless they are the only light source.)

Expect to only have about 10% of your photos turn out at that slow a speed. A 50mm f1.8 lens at 1/125 sec helps, but you don't get as wide an angle.

i was using f/2 1/30sec ISO1600 most of the time. i use a 50mm f/1.4 but i stopped it down to give a little more DoF. i shot a few at f/1.4 but still only got to about 1/60.

Shooting gig in low light is going to need a RAW. You can underexposure it by almost two steps, and still get somewhat good image.

But as I can see, the lighting just sucked on these photos. Some small spotlights would kick ass, but everything (included the shitty background) lighted as red just won't work. At least with a band which looks that boring.

there were 2 red spots and a green on the side. the only other lighting was coming through the door from the bar area which would be on the left wall, and some halloweeny ornaments they put on the edge of the ceiling.
push white balance towards green so red channel is ZOMG then its too green, dont push it enough red channel gets blown out real easy since digital sensors rape red. so i just went in the middle so theres green and red people.

underexposing by 2 stops is bad though because then the noise becomes really pronounced. the bad kind of noise.
