I've had my D7000 for a week now and picked up a 35mm F1.8 on Friday so I thought I'd nip to local club and do some gig photography. This is the first time I've done this, and first time on Manual, so go easy on me, but any comments/ critique is appreciated.

I was quite impressed by how well the lens and camera performed under the conditions.

Thanks..

They had some smoke but it was fairly weedy and never really filled the stage more than in those shots.

The 2nd picture isn't cropped so that gives you an idea of how the 35mm lens coped. With the 1.5 crop factor on the D7000 the 35mm is more like a 50mm in reality. I agree that I need a longer lens, got my eye on a 24-70mm F2.8 but need to wait a month or so before I can afford it.

I've got lots more to go through so will process some more todays and post them up.

Thanks for the comments.
 
Would love to see some of your shots..

I'm hoping that the F2.8 24-70mm will do it, but might have to consider a 50mm to go with my 35mm. The D7000 seems really good with high ISO levels, I was shooting some at 3200 iso as a test and they had almost zero noise.

Defiantly not going to use a flash, as someone who also plays in a band I hate flashes going off in my face, it really distracts you.
 
Some nice pictures there..

Going to try an get out again next weekend to a different venue and give the 33mm another try :)
