Nice. I'd love to see more of your concert shots taken withe the DA 15, maybe right up near the stage, looking up at the performers? Or even from behind. You're developing a style and eye that's really enjoyable to me.

Thanks, I really appreciate that! I did just post a couple more concert shots in your DA15 thread, but they're pretty much the same scene with different musicians. I'm a bit too self-conscious to want to be too close to the musicians when shooting - I know first hand how distracting this can be from the other side. But I have been known to do this sort of thing during rehearsals. I don't have much to show for it yet, but here's one:

The EXIF is present in the picture - you might want to download a plug-in for your browser to let you access this kind of info directly in the future. But FWIW, it's K200D, 15mm, f/4, 1/20", ISO 1600 with a bit of a PP push in the midtones.

Inspired by Jay's comments, but still limited by my own comfort level, I gave it a bit of a shot last weekend. Couldn't bring myself to shoot that close from the front, but managed one from *behind* the drummer:

K200D, DA15

Not really all that impressive, but you'd be surprised at how close you have to be to be to do this. This Friday I'm shooting a band where the leader specifically wants me to get some shots of him (he's someone I don't yet have anything good of), and *maybe* I'll feel OK with making more of a nuisance of myself.

To me, the atmosphere of this shot is tremendous - I'm in the band. It's casual, but intense. It's arresting in only a way this FL gives you with that FOV. And I do know how close you would have had to be to get that shot with this lens, nice job

Just got the DA 40 from my wife for my birthday. So far I absolutely love it.

I really like the third one, try colour correcting the first two, you should get much better results.

Yes, sorry. Here's a link to the page so you can see what Flickr reports:

MJS_100227_5457p on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

But the most relevant info is K200D, DA15, f/4, 1/20", ISO 1600

And thanks for the comments!
