Flying through a great set of songs from the Smashing Pumpkins; On this tour, Billy Corgan, vocalist and guitarist, asked Jimmy Chamberlin, the original Pumpkins' drummer to perform on this tour. He accepted as one can see.

So i finally got the chance to see the smashing pumpkins again, (well, half a pumpkin) almost 10 years after i originally saw them. this time they played a more varied set. but there was still something missing. they used to be my second favorite group (radiohead will always be first) before billy went all hootenanny on us.
their place got taken by death cab, but the silver mt zion is really catching on.
i had to sign a contract, i sincerly hope i don't get sued by billy, the band, the management, the record label or the concert organizers for uploading the picture.
After seeing Techy Girl's picture of her books, I decided I should take one of my own.
This stack makes up about half of the books I've bought or received as gifts over the last ten years or so. Most of the newer ones are in this picture. I've started six of these, and am currently reading I Am Ozzy, which I recommend! I got the Johnny Cash book for Christmas of 2003, and got the Ozzy book about a week ago. South Park and Philosophy belongs to a friend of mine.
Eventually I'll read all of them!

From the very beginning of the show...
Tutorial Tuesday ā Concert Photography
Before we start the tutorial, I should finish my story about how I got into the Pumpkinsā sold out show in the first place. Ebay? Nope. Craigās List? Try again. Stub Hub. Not a chance. Scalper? Couldnāt find any.
I was at home, roughly 50 miles from the venue, Ovations at Wild Horse Pass, and feeling sorry for my self. Someone on Twitter said I could sit at home and wonder if I would get in or I could drive down there and find out. My wife literally pushed me out the door, and I was off. After stopping for gas and cash, I proceeded to set the North American land speed record so I wouldnāt miss the entire opening act, āOK Goā.
As mentioned above, I couldnāt find any scalpersā¦ anywhere. I was beginning to get that feeling that I just drove all this way like a maniac for nothing. Then I saw the Ticket window and there wasnāt anyone in line (go figure for a sold out show, right?). I walked up and asked if by some chance there were any single tickets available. The ticket salesperson looked left and right, and said āWhy yes, we do.ā āHow muchā I asked. āMerry Christmas, you are going to love the seatā she said and passed the ticket through the window. I must have had a stupid look on my face because she said I better take it and walk away before she changes her mind. Still somewhat in disbelief I grabbed the ticket.
Once inside I see that Ovations is very small and discover it only seats 1400. Intimate. I ask for directions and I am pointed in the direction of the stage. Sweet. 6th row? Nice. Aisle seat right next to the sound and lighting boards? Perfect.
So, I went from sitting on my duff at home and sulking to being in the 6th row, center right and in the aisle for my favorite band. I sat down just in time to hear OK Go do an amazing version of āThis Too Shall Passā with lots of crowd participation. It was going to be a good nightā¦
On to the tutorialā¦
There are many awesome concert photographers, Jared Polin and Zack Arias come to mind, and they will have much more in depth information and have a much larger body of work. I am going to provide a tutorial from the āfan bringing in cameraā perspective as opposed to the āband hired me to shoot the showā perspective. As an initial starting point, you need to know how to change ISO, metering mode, shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes on your camera on the fly. You donāt want to be fumbling with your camera trying to find a particular menu as the band rocks on and you are missing shots. Also, shoot RAW. You want to have white balance and exposure flexibility in post.
First, you need fast glass; 2.8 or lower is a must. You are going to be in low light conditions and need to hit in excess of 1/100 of a second at a minimum to freeze motion. I went with my 50mm 1.8 for two reasons. One it is my fastest lens, and two it is small. I didnāt want to come in with my 28-75 2.8 and risk not getting in because they mistook me for a professional based on lens size. If you use a lens hood, put it on backwards to help minimize the apparent size of the lens.
Second, set your ISO as high as you can comfortably get away with knowing you are going to do NR in post production. I went with ISO 2000 at the start, dropped to 1600 after a bit and finally settled in between 400 and 800 depending on the lights for that particular song. If your camera has a variable mode you can use that as well. In this mode you specify your minimum shutter speed and the camera will try and get that speed by lower aperture first, and then increasing ISO to a pre set maximum.
Third, change your camera to spot metering mode. Some folks will say to use matrix mode, but I rarely get decent results this way. My thought is that with all the lighting variables on stage at a rock concert I want my subject, typically one of the musicians, to be properly exposed with the remainder of the stage being a secondary concern. Flash is almost always useless, plus you can get into trouble and asked to leave or stop taking pics.
Fourth, put your camera in Shutter Priority mode. As mentioned above, I am most concerned with a quick enough shutter speed to freeze motion. Aperture and DOF is a secondary concern to me for the most part. I went with a speed somewhere between 1/100 and 1/250.
Finally, switch your release mode to high speed continuous or burst. You want to be able to lock focus and take a burst of 3 to 5 pics at a time. This will help ensure you have a properly exposed and sharp photo.
Now you have your base settings. These will need to be tweaked slightly depending on your venue and how it was lit. Shoot away in your mini bursts and donāt forget to rock out. After all, you came to the show to rock in the first place right?
