[Concert Photography] 11.11.12 in Munich, An Cafe: NYAPPY GO AROUND THE WORLD III'～TADAIMA o(≧∀≦)o OKAERI o(≧∀≦)o～'

Today i was allowed to release my Photographs  i made during the An cafe Concert in Munich. I was only allowed to make  Photos for the first 3 songs, which is normal in most cases. It seemed hard to take Photos there but i tried my best. I wouldnt do it if  it wouldnt be one of my favourite things to do. I had luck that the light was bright during the concert but it was changing alot from bright to dark etc. so i had to concentrate alot on Photographing. I took not that much Pictures because i dont like it to take  alot  Pictures and then to choose some good ones by luck. I like ot more to concetrate moe on the shots an d take rather a few images but good ones.
I will only show you some of the Images as i have also a facebook Photo page where i uploaded all the An cafe Photos. On my Facebook Page you can find my Pther Photographs. So feel free to like my page if you like the An Cafe Photos and my other Photographs.  I post the link to the page at the end of the Article.

The concert itself started very good. They were in my opinion  even better than expected.  It seemed like they were trying to give their best for all the fans who were waiting a long time to see them again live.  The Concert was really fun and very good . And all the fans seemd also very happy.

Now i put here one preview Picture which i think is the best of the Photos i took there and write something about it:

Here is the Image:

 So if you wanna know how i took this image. Here's some info. For this Photo I used a mft Camera with the M.Zuiko 45mm 1.8 which a very good lens but one negative  point is , that it is a short tele lens which is not always very good  when Photographing from the pit. So to take this Photo i choosed an ISO of 1600 . I didnt need to go higher because i had luck that hthe light was really bright duringthe Shot so i could use a shutter speed of 1/500 and as i used  a high aperture of 1.8. I went on the right side of the pit a litte bit further away from Miku ( the singer)  to get more from  him in the shot as i used a short tele and i didnt want a close up shot of him. Honestly its hard to get shoots like this because the light changes constantly and you  the singer is moving someimtes alot. Also what is important . I chossed to Photograph him from he right not the left side, because from the lef side his mice would cover his face, which you should try to avoid. In many concert Photos i saw the singer often to be photographed from the wring side.

I know its hard to do this right during a Concert  because you have to concentrate very much to get shots like this and you have sometimes only a few seconds to do it right. So here's a tip from me : Study the movement of the Band members  by watching some live acts from them on youtube or DVD
's, or even some fa ncam videos from fans could be really helpfull if  you see some on youtube  or other sites if they are from the same Tour  and only from toher cities. This kind of preperation is really helpfull becuase mostly  the singer makes the same kind of movements or at least similiar.  during the same songs on stage and mostly on concerts of the same tour as they rehearse the their movements specifically for the songs or the tour. But if should again the same artis in some years , dont think you know their movements, they might have changed during the years and try to prepare yourself before all your concert shoots.

Now here's thelink to my facebook page where you can see all of the other Shoots from the concerts:

You can like also my facebook page if you like the Photos.o r want to be updated on my other Photographs i post there. But will try to get acces to other concerts in the future to make more concerts Photos as its my passion.

But please dontuse the photos and conctact me on facebook  if you wanna use them so know for what you wanna use it and then i maybe allow it but i cant promise it. Hope you like the rest of the Photos.

Feel free to ask me, if you have already some Questions about the Concert, Concert Photography or anything else.I will try to answer all questions as good as i can.

Concert Photography [Concert: Anli Pollicino in Munich on 22.07.12]

This is something i really wanted to write about . One thing in Photography im very interested about. Concerts are one of the hardest things to do in Photography. If it is done good, it can really look amazing.
For making good concert Photos, it would be great to have a good Camera. Your best bet would be to have a camera with good ISO. I didn't have a po DSLR to shoot the Concert. I only had a Lumix G2 with the 45mm f 1.8. But for the beginning in concert Photography that's enough. It would be only good to have a good  DSLR if you shoot many Shows.
Maybe you want to know , how you can shoot at concerts if its not allowed to and if you need access to do so. I first thought i would never get access to do so, but even i did. Just ask the management of a Band,, and maybe they they give you access to do so. First try to ask Bands which play in smaller venues, because they are mostly about when someone wants t Photograph in their concerts.

The show I Photographed was the A (ACE) x Anli Pollicino show on 22.07.12 in Munich. There were playing two Bands. At first the band A (ACE) was playing. It was a really fun show and so it was really fun to Photograph it, but also hard because there was no Special area for the Photographer and there were so many People in front of the Stage, so you couldn't move at all.. No w i cant show you the Photos of the A (ACE) concert because i had to send the Photos to the management and i have to wait until they answer me and let them upload me  The Second Band playing on this day, was Anli Pollicino .This show was also amazing but a little bit easier to shoot because some People went behind after the first show, so you could move  a bit after some songs. The management of this Band dint say i i'm not allowed to upload the Photos until they give m the OK, so i think i ca show them to you . The good thing was that I wasn't limited too a number of songs , so i could shoot during the whole show. But one important thing is, try not too take too many Photos. Because at first it could disturb the people around you and your camera will be exploited more.

Many concert Photographers just use the high fps of their camera and just click their shutter and then they hope to capture a good Photo. I'm not  fan of doing so. My way is to analyze and study the Songs and Movements of the Artist before the Show and then to try to Capture the Moment. But even i make more Photos during one second, but sometimes you have to.
Now i tell you something about the settings i used. At first, the most important thing is to shoot in Raw, because then you can even shoot some ISO higher and denoise it in Post later and it looks still very good. In raw i can shoot up to ISO 2000 with my Lumix G2 and i don't have to worry about nose. But i have to admit , its still not the best camera to shoot concerts with, but the quality of the Pictures is really good. If you are looking for a good concert camera, try to get a camera with high ISO capabilities and  a lens with high aperture
.
Now i show you some of the Pictures i did during the Concert of Anli Pollicino in Munich on 22.07.12
i don't show you all of them . If you want to see all of them visit my Facebook or my flickr account.

Here are some of the Photos:

Plunklock Konzertfotografie mit der Samsung MV800 / Plunklock Concert Photos with the Samsung MV800

Hallo allerseits,
Ich war auf dem Konzert von Plunklock in München. Ich hatte keine Ahnung davon das es erlaubt sein würde Fotos zu machen. Deshalb hatte ich meine Lumix G2 nicht dabei sondern nur meine Samsung MV800. Diese eignet sich eigentlich nicht so gut für Konzertfotografie da sie eine nicht sehr hohe Lichtstärke hat und um schnelle Bewegungen einzufangen  die Auflösung auf VGA reduziert werden muss Aber ich habe dennoch versucht Paar schöne Fotos einzufangen, so gut es eben möglich war.

Hier drei Fotos und eines das ich mit der Panoramafunktion der Samsung MV800 machte :

Das darauffolgende Foto habe ich mit der Panoramafunktion der Samsung MV800 gemacht:


Ein Video habe ich mit der Samsung MV800 gemacht. Ich bin erstaunt das die Samsung MV800 das Video so gut gemeistert auch wenn die Videoqualität nicht die beste ist, ist dennoch ein ansehnliches Ergebnis dabei entstanden. Vor allem aber war ich erstaunt das der Ton so klar aufgenommen wurde. Hier das Video das Plunklocks  Live-Auftritt von Koe in München zeigt

 Wie immer sind Kommentare über die jeweiligen Fotos /Video erwünscht, sowie Fragen die ihr mir stellen wollt.


Vielen dank für eure eure Aufmerksamkeit,
