I guess that I feel that I can not ay buy this camera and you will get excellent results...............I believe that the results come more from the person and what they do with the camera ..............
I used in the days of film get good results from a Pentax K 1000 with a fast zoom lens some 400 ASA film..........and a bit of good luck.![[Image: attachment.php?attachmentid=432]](http://www.music-discussion.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=432)
I can suggest the following....................If you can find the organizer and try to get a press pass ..........it can be done if you are honest and tell them you are a keen photographer...............the only thing I found as that they have asked to have first refusal if you get anything they want.( Often they pay you !) IF you can get this then you can get access to the back stage positions etc ................often it only works for smaller gigs but worth ago.
If you can try to get access to the sound check....................can also be done if you can get the right contact and charm them............at this you can speak to the band too and sometimes if they feel lkie it you can get them to co-operatate for some good action.
If not then if it is a small gig you can get in close top the side of the stage give clues to good angles and if you are luck they might invite you into areas others can not .
If you get close into the artist try to chat with them...................I have one or two excellent shots of one of my idols actually playing in my kitchen !!!!!

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
