The lighting at the club was perfect and I hope I get a chance to shoot there
again soon...

hey man, good shot!

Great work. Always good to see an artist at work.

thanks................

Yes, the 10D is very clean at iso 800, beyond that it breaks up pretty bad. Did you shoot these in RAW?

yeah i shot them in RAW... thats the only way i will go now. i love the flexibility it gives me in post processing....

bad thing is i have to post process almost ever image... but it has saved many shots from being complete trash... hehe

its a trade off

i like the new 20d since it is SO clean at iso1600 its amazing!

That light is amazing! I feel many hours of practice coming on.

a couple of others i shot

i think i enjoy concert photography the most

Awesome shots....really like the Dave Mattews one!

I've been thinking about picking up a 10D, what would you recommend as additional equipment and lenses to get pics like that?

first i would prolly suggest a 20d for concert photography simply because it is so much cleaner at isos 400 - 3200 and concert shots would come out much better..

my 50 f1.4 lens ran like $300, u can get a 50 f1.8 for about $70 brand new... i pefer the f1.4 version becuase i like how it handles. i think it focuses a bit quicker and has a smoother bokeh (means the blur from the foreground to the background is smoother)

i wish i had a 20d for that iso feature plus it has a much larger buffer which will allow u to shoot a lot more in a short period of time. u dont have to sit and wait for the 10d to save images etc... hehe <-- that bugs me!
