concerts Fran Healy of Travis

This is from my first attempt at concert photography. I realise the

image is a little soft, a combination of manual focussing under

pressure and holding a 135mm lens at 1/30th will do that to an

image :)

What I would like feedback on is the general composition, as well as

any general thoughts.

I am no expert - just an enthusiast. I think the softness that you mention can also be due to the lights changing at the various times. I think you captured his emotion OK - my way is to crop a little closer and maybe concentrate on ONE thing in a photo - in this you have the mic stand, his expression, him with the guitar when maybe three different photos with each of those as the subject might be better. Thats all down to taste though, so I aren't being a judge there.

The colours are really nice and rich - what you'd expect from a Fuji film!

Keep posting photos!

I like the composition. Unfortunately the focus is not tack sharp. Of course this is always difficult with the low light at these concerts. Try shooting stopped down slightly if possible. With guitarists, it's always nice to get both hands in the image if possible.
