Recomended Film Speed For Concert Photos I have been shooting concerts with Kodak Max 400 film, and some turn out ok and others are very grainy... maybe slightly under exposed they look real light on the prints. I have a Canon Rebel 2000 and keep it set on automatic mode all the time because I am not sure of myself yet. I have noticed that sometimes my pictures turn out better with out a flash and sometimes they dont. Any suggestions on film speed and any help on figuring out the rhyme and reason to what I am doing would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you've picked a tough subject to shoot if you are unsure of yourself. Concert photography is not easy. My preference is for concert shots without flash. I love the dramatic lighting. The toughest part of concert photography is the exposure. As you've discovered it's pretty hit and miss to let the camera decide your exposure. There is just too much contrast. I would suggest you go to the bookstore and find a book on exposure (they're out there) and become "sure" of yourself. Once you understand what you're doing you can make the decisions regarding exposure and you will enjoy the experience much more.

Try using the Fuji Press 800 set it at 640 and use a very high speed lens, say, 1.4F
