first night photographing live music

[revolutionrock]

my first night photographing live music went pretty well i feel, just finished going through them all. heres the best of the lot;

The Electric Circus Band

The Heartbreaks

i was stuck at the side of the stage hence the lack of pictures of the bassists, but i was a bit nervous and didn't want to walk in front of the crowd :lol: maybe next time,
the impromptu stage invasion at the end was pretty good to photograph also,
other than that i think there pretty well to say thats the first time i have done photography of this sort.
i just stuck to normal shots for my first time, didn't attempt any long exposure shots
thoughts?

450d. 50mm 1.8
used a vast array of settings, but mainly stuck to 800iso(some were 1600, some even 400) 1/125-200 and 1.8-3.2

A longer lens would provide a bit more creative opportunity I reckon.

i think bigger balls would benefit me better, in more ways that one of course.

i was more nervous of being in front of the crowd
