Submit your best live music photo for a chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial
Congratulations to the winners!
Who could be better to review concert photography than two photographers who are also musicians? Patrick Hall is joined by photographer and musician Keith Bradshaw for this week's episode.
Congratulations to our two winners! Simon Shaw submitted the image that earned the highest average community rating and Brad Norling was chosen as the random entrant to win a free Fstoppers tutorial. We will be in touch with both of you to claim your prize.

Rules & Prizes
When you attend a concert, at some point you probably pull out a camera to grab a shot or two, but so does everyone else. What sets apart a good concert photo from the rest?
For our next episode of Critique the Community, we will provide feedback to 20 different images taken of live music performances to offer insight into good and bad concert photography. Of the submissions, two entrants will win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. The first winner will be chosen based on the highest average community rated image. The second winner will be chosen at random. You have until July 3, 2019 to submit up to two of your best images to participate.
Once you've uploaded your images, scroll through the rest of the submissions and provide a few thoughts of your own to your fellow community members. You can rate other images efficiently by using your number and key pad or leave comments on images when you notice problems that could be improved.
Thanks to Alex Cooke who provided the featured image.

whohooo thank you for the critique, this was definitely not something I normally take photos of, these challenges and such are fun they force me to try new things, that event did indeed suck with not much going on still gave it a go
I 5 stars any shot of Björk.
I sure hope, that in this critique they will keep in mind that none of these photos are set up by the photographer, and therefore have to evaluate these quite differently than usual.
The feedback I've had about my image is incredible - thank you everyone, so much fun and learning from looking at everyone else's submissions - some worldie shots I have no idea how some have been captured 😂
Welcome to the community critique.... where everything's made up and the points don't matter.
Shooting a world class musician from the pit = 1 star all day long....
haha well so far.... I've seen way too many images with 2.something averages... that easily should be a 3-4 considering the genre. As you've mention. These are all caught on the fly... and usually combatting some pretty unforgiving light. Y'all killing it out there!
