Photography in low-light I often take many pictures in low-light situations such as bands, concert situations, weddings, etc. My pictures all seem to come out blurry and/or bright red. I am changing the settings on my camera to find out just how to photograph in low light. My question is as follows: What speed of film should I use w/ my Minolta 400 SLR, what setting speed, etc. to get that perfect low light situation? I am tired of wasting film. I usually use 800 speed Fuji. Also, what is the best way to capture a Christmas scene w/ lights at night? My pictures seem to be blurry in this situation as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You in advance.

This is a tough question to answer. My first response to questions like this is to recommend a fast speed film; you are already doing this. My second suggestion is to use a tripod; this would eliminate most of the blurriness problem. However, shooting indoor scenes of bands and other subjects at crowded events with a tripod can be extremely difficult, if not impossible. There is a good book on the subject of low-light shooting: I am going to do a little more research to address your other questions. I am puzzled by the redness problem; if there is anything else specific you can think of that may further describe the problem, please let me know.

Check out this Web site. It's a full tutorial on how to do concert photography... http://photo.net/photo/canon/mirarchi/concert/concer_i.htm I think by your redness might be caused by daylight film in tungsten lighting. Though that is usually orange. Try a correcting filter.
