| Dec 30, 2014 at 21:37 | comment | added | 300D7309EF17 | @blake since they were steady, you could chimp the photos (take a pic, look at LCD) and adjust your EV. That's pretty easy and fast. | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 14:37 | comment | added | tenmiles | @Blake you just need to learn how the camera and it's settings work. Concert photography isn't very good with the auto/default settings; you really need to dive in and either go full manual or start using more advanced features. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 14:31 | comment | added | Brandon | so it wasn't the shortage of my lens ( 35mm, f1.8) or the camera itself? | |
