I’m going to a music festival Friday-Sunday, and I have passes to be in the photo pit for three songs. My grandma is sending me with her Nikon d3300 to take pictures, but I’ve never really used a camera before, aside from my cell phone. I’ve practiced taking pictures of my cats for the last few days, but I’m sure there’s some settings I will need to adjust for the concert. I have two lenses; an 18-55mm, and a 55-200mm but I only have space to bring one. Does anyone have any tips for me? Should I just ditch the camera and use my cell phone?
And even if they provide it: getting some decent ones is so much better and more comfortable. You can go to a music store and get some for around 20€. They will be reusable, provide with way better sound quality and will be much more comfortable. Most of them even have some swappable parts that allow you to choose different levels of attenuation.
I have in general quite sensitive ears, so I always keep them on my keyring (I have used them in the movie theater for example…).
