Photographing a live music venue

Taynie-Leanne Gage

EQUIPMENT The camera I thought would be best for photographing a live music event would be the Canon Mark III DLSR.

The Mark III can be set to have a high ISO which would be perfect to capture clear, light images in a dark setting. The price of this camera is around £200.

The Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens would be perfect for this topic as the aperture feature can be set very low and therefore allows more light in. The lowest price I found for this lens was £80.

A flash gun may be necessary to add extra light to an image, the Canon OC-E3 Flash Off-Camera Shoe Cord flash gun seemed ideal for events such as gigs. The price of this is around £50.

The SanDisk 64GB memory card would be the choice I would make to insure as many images as possible can be taken as many images would probably need to be discarded due to the hectic nature of a gig and therefore, unclear images.
