My [poor] attempts at concert photography

Parokya ni Edgar sang at the company's Christmas Party. Chito is constantly asking what song should they play. I was screaming "Cooking ng Ina Mo," completely forgetting that the song's true title is "Lutong Bahay."

Anyway, this is one of the few real chances a hobbyist can get shooting concert photography.

(SIDENOTE: You are not allowed to bring in SLR's in local concerts. Araneta will have you deposit your gear in a small corner booth, guarded by lazy people who can't even lineup umbrellas according to their number tags.

I used a Sigma 50mm 1.4.. Seems really usable in low light, but the needed sharpness is not there yet. .

 
I also learned that a zoom lens is needed during concerts. You cannot make decent composition with a prime.

(another sidenote: Chito's voice was husky. He seems fresh from a long nap).

Anyway, the food was decent (Crowne Plaza, Ortigas).
