We thought it would be cool to see them live while we were in Tokyo this winter. Unfortunately, the band didn&rsquo;t have any scheduled gigs, but their vocalist, Onizawa Mashiro, suddenly announced an acoustic solo concert. We were supposed to meet a friend that day who coincidentally lives in the same district where the venue is, so we invited him to join us. This entire story almost didn&rsquo;t happen because all the tickets were booked immediately. Our friend only managed to book a single ticket for himself, and he hasn’t even received a confirmation for it.</p> https://blog.almostinfocus.com/posts/how-to-photograph-concerts/ Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200 https://blog.almostinfocus.com/posts/how-to-photograph-concerts/ <p>While I always go to a concert if a band that I like is in town, I’m also happy to check out how my friends play when they invite me. Not long after getting the X-Pro 3 with a little 23mm F2 lens, a friend of mine invited me to a gig of the band he joined. I thought that it would be cool to document this event, despite them playing in a small bar that fits only about 40 people.</p>
