Three time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Eric Clapton tours with former Traffic legend Steve Winwood, strumming the heartstrings of countless, loyal fans.
And speaking of loyal fans, perhaps they are the reason for certain photography restrictions you can expect to encounter when covering this show. Whereas most touring showmen will allow press coverage from near stage front, these touring greats give the stage front to their fans--hence the suggestion to snap on a telephoto lens with a minimum range of 200 meters. You will need it.
Though the stage is set with a variety of front and backlights in motion, you can expect a no flash policy. As a general rule of thumb, an ISO setting of 800 is reliable in such circumstances. Further, it is a good idea to adjust your auto focus systems for high speed, long range settings. On Canon models, the AI Servo is a good choice.
In post-processing, cropping of the audience will be necessary. For those in search of an artistic spin, try a cross-processing development effect to add depth and saturation to your images.
