so i take it /p/ has just as many unhelpful assholes as other parts of 4chan then?

This might help.

sounds about right.

come to us with a specific question after doing some research. i can't be bothered to explain the fundamentals of a camera to you when there's a million resources out there floating around.

stop being such a lazy faggot.

learn about exposure and how shutterspeed, aperture and ISO relate to it.

here's a tip: motion blur is related to shutterspeed.

thanks for the help.
i'd help myself if i knew the first thing about photography. and i don't know where good resources are.
when you don't know the first thing about a subject it's hard to find answers because everything's over your head.
i thought maybe it would be an easy answer like "change ____ setting from ___ to ___"

GOOGLE MOTHER FUCKER! DO YOU USE IT?

Read. Read books. You will find books on basic digital photography in any bookstore, free on ThePirateBay, cluttering up yard sales, etc. You can gargle PHOTO WIKI and get articles with links to online resources and courses.

Practice. Practice with your camera. It's free. Try different settings. Take notes of what works and what sucks. Study those notes. Study those books. Learn about light, and composition.

Hint: When shooting in big dark spaces, you need a flash, something more powerful than the average digicam's onboard flash. You miight need a tripod. You might need to move closer. You might need a different camera.

thank you.
the problem with practicing is i can't really recreate the environment of a concert and that lighting.
plus i'm afraid to start messing around with settings and just totally jack something up.
i thought maybe i could just change my exposure time or shutter speed and clear up my pics a little. basically sounds like i'm shit out of luck

... no it sounds like you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you need practice and experience. Read some books.

I usually just use my shitty 5mp Canon P&S at concerts and just put the dial on M and pick the settings right for the lighting and type of music IE. Metal there is alot of headbanging and such versus Hip Hop where they just kinda walk around.

Picture related it's one of many concerts I've shot on my P&S the band is Inflames.
