The settings depend on the type of picture you want. Since you declined to specify the model of your camera, I can't give you any exact answers.
If you want an overview of the entire scene, the stage, the performers, the audience, etc., you can treat is as a landscape. Use a small aperture to get maximum depth of field.
If you want to catch a single performer or a small group of performers in motion, treat it as a sports scene. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion and a large aperture to narrow the depth of field.
If you want to convey a sense of motion, use a slower shutter speed and let the action blur.
The camera is a tool. You're the photographer. YOU have to decide what you want your photo to say to the viewer and use the appropriate settings to capture that. Two photographers shooting the same thing with the same equipment will most likely be using different settings because each will have his/her own view of what the picture should say.

Testimonial: "Forgive me I thought I listed my camera, I a have Cannon EOS T2i, I've been playing around with the settings, but I'm at home I have to do shoots of the artist posing and while they are performing. i hope this helps, thanks."

SOURCE: concert photos

Not really possible with most cameras. Set the ISO to the highest setting and turn off the flash. This is the best you can do. Professional cameras that can shoot at ISO 3200-5200 are about the only cameras that can take that type of shot. Most pocket cameras do not have ISO above 1000.

Good luck!

SOURCE: what setting do I use for my Cannon Powershot SX

Turn off the flash. Set the ISO for at least 800. If you have shake reduction, use it. If not, can you use a monopod or tripod?

Creedence clearwater revival rock band history

Creedence Clearwater Revival-occasionally shortened to Creedence or CCR-was an American rock band popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty (John's brother), bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style encompassed the roots rock and swamp rock genres. Despite their San Francisco Bay Area origins, they portrayed a Southern rock style, singing about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern iconography.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's music is still a staple of American and worldwide radio airplay;[1] the band has sold 26 million albums in the United States alone.[2] Creedence Clearwater Revival was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.[3] Rolling Stone ranked the band 82nd on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.[4] Their musical influence can be heard in many genres including southern rock, grunge, roots rock, and blues

Any suggestions as to what setting I should use at an indoor concert? I tried several different ones and none of them seemed to work. They either came out blurry or dark. Thanks! Kim

Indoor concerts are difficult with a point and shoot camera. You'll need to set a high ISO. You need to be rock steady (a tripod or monopod is recommended). The white balance should be "tungsten". Turn off the flash.

Hi...
Is the first set "stereo" settings and the 2nd set "surround" settings?
If so that may mean that the surround speakers arent all connected right.

  • Unlock Vince McMahon easilyChoose to play as a GM in 24/7 mode. Choose a pre-set roster, and set your champions. Go forward a couple of weeks into the calendar, and simulate matches up until that date. Renew the contracts of a few of your superstars for as long as is possible (make sure you include your champions). Go to the calendar, select a date just before the contracts expire, and choose to simulate up until this point. You will have made enough to renew the contracts again. Repeat the same procedure until you get to WrestleMania. You should get there with a couple of decent superstars to compete in a championship match. Put the championship on the line, and fight the match to unlock Vince McMahon.
