QuoteI have a photo pass and will be shooting the Minneapolis show.  Stay tuned....

Cool! Questions:

Have you had one of these before? Are you limited to the first 3 songs? Does the pass allow you to go down front?

I was not given the three song rule this time, but that could change.  In terms of access, etc. it really depends on the band, the venue, the show.  It just so happens that I have front row center seats in the pit so I can't get much better!  As far as access for this show...you'll see on Friday when I post.  

Have fun shooting the Chicago show!

Sounds like you won't need to worry about your location and you should be able to get some great pics!

I will be shooting from a box, so not anywhere near as close as you. Still debating, given my location, whether I want to take advantage of the pass, or just sit back and enjoy the show. (I was told that I could shoot only during the first 3 songs.)

Hey folks, thanks! My pleasure!

Here's a pretty nice Flickr set (some of these shots may have shown up in a previous concert review, but still nice): http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/sets/72157622604314230/detail/

After a couple of nights off, the next show is tomorrow night (the 28th) in Omaha.

I was hoping for some clarity and advice regarding pictures.  I'd like to bring a "small" digital camera and take a few shots during the show in Boston, from 7th row.  No flash, obviously.  The Orpheum Theater website indicated cameras are welcome, though not directly in reference to the MoF show.  Now I'm reading about photo passes and wondering if I'll get my camera confiscated or something.  Any thoughts from the forum?
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

the orpheum is usually pretty lax about cameras from what i remember. i think it's ultimately up to the artists. i caught the monsters last week in oakland and the guards in front went so far as to tell us to not even text during the show, even stopped a guy mid-message. people still took pictures though. so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

You do not need a photo pass to bring in point and shoot cameras.  Generally the rule is that if the lens is less than 1" long, you can use any camera.  Photo passes are needed to bring in any pro-gear, lenses, etc. I am shooting for a local paper as well so that is why I need the pass.  My advice is that if you are using a point and shoot camera, steady it with two hands and avoid red lights!  I got some decent shots of two MMJ shows (Minneapolis and Chicago) last year with a point and shoot (no photo pass), so it can be done.  Good luck!

what setting should i put my point and shoot on to get the best colors- don't want to wash out anything and distract the band with a flash. But I dont want to capture a bunch of blurs... i guess it wont be much of a problem if it ain't an MMJ show- a lot less head banging i bet.

of course different cameras will function differently...mer, mer mer. Some cameras you can control a little more than others, but try this: if you have a sport setting try using that: it generally sets your camera to a high ISO (sensitivity) and a fast capture speed.  The only drawback of this is that you sometimes get real grainy pics.  Mess around with it, but just make sure that you don't use flash and don;t shoot video.

Thank you! much appreciated... just bought the thing so haven't had a chance to take any pictures or play with it yet- bought it because it had 12x optical zoom and reviews said it was great in low light situations.
