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?
Red lights are easier to shoot than blue. Sometimes you can time a song for the “drop” or climax and they’ll use white flood lights. Anticipate these moments if you can. But most of all have fun!
