#1 his face is too little exposed. #2 the mic hides his face. #3 too much flare. #4 need more colur, more saturation.
The laste one is nice, but you may crop it somewhat..
Sorry for .......

I'm actually getting ready tonight to (try) to shoot a concert in a VERY small venue. Not sure what lighting will be...etc.
I have a 5D3, but only one lens I have is very fast my 85mm 1.8.
I have a 17-40mm L f/4, and the kit 24-105mm f/4 L lenses.
Any advice for trying to get some good useable shots?
I'm needing to learn how to do like you did, in particular with lighting in the back...how do you go about metering and setting exposure so that I don't get all silloettes?
I'm planning to try to shoot manual....with maybe some apeture priority....
Advice/Suggestions?
TIA,
cayenne

I shot aperture priority with 70-200mm at f/2.8 at iso 3200-6400. auto white balance. if there are a lot of tungsten lights then use tungsten white balance. I ended up switching most of my shots to tungsten wb in lightroom. I had to set the exposure compensation -1 stop or else the shot would have been over exposed due to all the black in the background. each shot you focus on take 2- 4 times to bring up your possibility of getting a sharp shot. evaluative metering mode. i would probably rely on your 85mm if it is tight enough as you will really need to push your iso up if you used the 24-105. you could use you 24-105 at 4.0 with "is" turned on and iso 6400-12800. you will still get great shots since the mkIII is SO great with high iso. hope that helps! i didn't have much issue with silhouettes since the black in the background made the camera want to come up in exposure.

I appreciate you critique. I personally like the shadow on the face in #1 and the effect of it was more focused on the lighting and flare. #2 i wanted this shot as it is kinda of interesting/off-putting with the combination of the look on his face and the mic covering his nose. #3 i agree. lots of flare but matter of opinion on how much is used. but i still appreciate your input. #4 i feel would make the flare too strong and apparent if there was more saturation since the entire shots has a green overlay. #5 i liked the idea of having the singer suspended in empty space. and i wanted to keep the aspect ratio the same. But your thought are something to think about as a customer may have different opinions then mine. the rest of the of the shots are here: http://www.stockhammedia.com/photo/concert-photography-album-1/ if your interested =-)

shoot manual keep your shutter at 1/100 if possible at f1.8 or f2 your are probably going to be in the iso 4000 to iso 8000 range tweek your iso to suit if its really dark you might need 12800
the 17-40 at f4 you would probably need to be at 1/50 and 25600 iso but subject motion might be an issue at such a slow shutter speed
i was shooting f2.8 with the 16-35 at 12800
dont be afraid of a little highlight clipping as you can recover that but make sure you are not under exposing your subjects
forget aperture priority it will not be good

I agree with many of you points. But i shot the entire job without any improperly exposed shots. where as the lighting changes you may become too overexposed to recover. Don't forget these cameras do far better recovering shadows than highlights. If it seems the lighting is pretty constant then shoot manual. If not then i would recommend Av. Definitely do not be afraid shooting iso 12800 on the 5D mkIII as the images are amazingly useable. I would recommend using the 24-105 also because it has IS and hand shake will be greatly reduced.
