Tip of the Day: Concerts

Since my boyfriend Dylan regularly puts on shows here at USM I find myself a lot of times tagging along with my camera. I went from never shooting concerts to feeling pretty confident doing so, so I wanted to share a small tip I've learned from the past year.

Don't forget about the audience! I've gotten some really nice shots from turning around and ignoring the band for a few minutes to get some shots of the crowd. Whether it's people at the show interacting with each other or catching another photographer mid-shot, you can get some really nice photos if you switch your area of focus for awhile.
