Michael, I also would take the wide angle and try to postion myself where I
could have the band be the main subject, with the audience in the back ground
and also the other way around. I would also want something long and fast to
isolate individual band members. I would want to stop some of the action and
also show some of the motion with slow shutter speeds. When I think about
concerts that I did in college, it would be of people of whom you have never
heard. Pushed Tri-X a stop or two. Used a tripod on the stage from behind
the curtains on the side. Back then I was using a new Nik#n and a huge Nik#n
zoom that seems like it went to 250mm or so which might explain part of
reason for the tripod. This was all before I saw the light and also before
the birth of the OM system. It was the path I needed to travel to truly
appreciate the OM. It sounds like I did a good job of enabling you when I
help to get you into that first OM 2S. I have another on the way to me right
now. It is hard to have too many. Have a great time and capture some great
images. Bill Barber
