As some of you know I prefer taking photos at night and this was a cool setting for me to try out.

I headed to Jack Parow at Mercury Live on Friday the 19th March 2010 to check it out. I love his shows so thought it would be a good place to try my first night time concert stuff. I struggled to find the settings I wanted in order to actually capture some decent photos. I found what worked for me was setting it into shutter priority and then simply finding a shutter speed I was comfortable I could shoot without a flash (without being insanely blurry). I then picked my moments when the lighting was substantial enough to actually get some decent photos. It was very much an experiment, I ended up with many underexposed photos but I did get one or two that I liked. Let me know what you think.

Unfortunately I had quite a busy weekend so I decided to take it easy and take my camera along. I liked this photo, even though I didn’t take it. It’s of my sister and I and just captures the mood of the entire day. You can check the rest of the photos out here.
