    I shot some stuff at a small festival recently. Whacked the ISO up, spot metered to a highlight to get an exposure value and based my shots off that, tweaking maybe up to a stop either way where necessary.

    If the lighting is good and there's smoke you should get some nice contrasty shots. Good for silhouettes too. Most of these are very lightly processed, maybe just a bit of contrast added.

    Please excuse the wanky watermark. Last time I took shots at a gig, they ended up in the newspaper without credit. Also managed not to have the right font activated when I exported the second batch.
