As titled, a friend of my girlfriend was playing earlier this evening at my local Indie lounge (The Lamp) along with a handful of other line ups. I thought I'd give a try at shooting them when they're on stage, I've got to start some where, why not shoot someone I know...
Their band is called Brilliant Mind and the stage they performed on was lit up by 1 red and 1 green spot light. That was it! It was literally no other source of light and I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere by popping flashes through out their show, so I had to bite the bullet and stick it on ISO3200, on my Olympus E620. I swapped between using my 12-60mm SWD and a hired 50-200mm SWD (for 1 week of fun since I can't afford it yet). I also had to switch between AF and MF due to the lack of light, so some focus were hit and miss
Anyway...

To be honest, I'm semi pleased with the performance of my little Olympus. It's no matched to a Canon 5DMKII but for what it's worth and the job it did, not too bad I suppose.
C&C welcomed! Anyone with experience in gig shooting, some advise would be handy for if I ever, ever! get the chance to shoot a gig again.
