My age tells me that shooting concerts is for the much younger crowd....but on occasion when the group is "my kind of group" I enjoy the music as much as the photography. Last Sunday I shot the "Oak Ridge Boys" and had a blast (no restrictions). A great group that play to the camera.

The low light is not nearly as much a challenge as are the white balance issues with multi-changing color strobes bearing down on faces.

Thanks......I guess the important part, the publicist for the OR Boys want the pics. I am not in my element shooting these things, sports yes. I did Fleetwood M, this year and though there was a 3 song restrictions, the light was great and good shots were plentiful......I had forgotten ear plugs and liked to died standing in front of the speakers.
