My Camera DSLR and Lenses for Concert Photography
 Nikon D750:I use two Nikon D750 for my live music photography. Amazing high ISO performance in a compact body with tons of pro features. |
 Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8:For most gigs, the 24-70mm is my go-to lens. Exceptional image quality at wide apertures and super-functional range. |
 Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR:A perfect pair to the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, I can basically shoot any job with the midrange and this lens. Superb image quality. |
 Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8:Ultra-wide perspective, ridiculously sharp even wide open at f/2.8. I love using this lens up-close and personal, where it excels. |

How’s the lighting? Looks like it was all reds and purples, not a huge fan of those. I’m shooting them next week!
Lighting was very interesting. Not “easy,” but plenty to keep one busy. I think the lighting for Garbage was a pretty good challenge overall.
Shot them in Latvia couple of months ago – lights for the first 3 songs were very hard – lots of reds + strobes all the time. Add very active movement of Shirley all over the stage and you got yourself some very challenging concert for shooting :)

Hey Oskars, your shots look great. Looks like you had a little more white light in the mix, but overall a similar treatment/style.
Sup Todd went through some of your recent concert files. Awesome colors etc… however I find that many of the images are somewhat soft. I know you used to use D3 and D700 was there any reason why you switched to D800 particularly and what you may find more superior.
You’re just seeing the dynamic image sizing used by PhotoShelter. I assure you the original images are not soft.
I have switched to the D800 mostly because of greed. The image quality of files is fantastic. I like the large resolution and the ability to crop if necessary without sacrificing the ability to make huge prints in the future.
