Hi all,

I went to a concert last night and was sat quite far from the stage and really struggled to get any decent shots.
All around where I was sat came out clear with the low light sensors really bringing this in, the problem was although it was dark where I was sat, the stage was showered in lights so it ruined all the stage shots by bringing in too much light.

It really annoyed me because on my Titan in the past I could just leave it on auto everything and produce amazing concert shots from a similar position.
I tried auto and fiddled around with iso settings etc but couldn't get it right :angry:
some shots attached.

Okey this is tricky , for one I prefer you don't take a photo of a concert but rather an 1080p video and then snapshotting the video either in your Lumia 920 or on a pc.
But if you wanna learn about taking good pictures , Buy ProShot lens (or try it ) It'll give you control over your shutter once you have that control you could reduce your shutter time so lights won't give that horrible flare (also that flare you're having is troubled by oil lots of oil residue (from your fingers probably so remember to clean your lenses really well before night shots .)
Perfect settings for the pictures I saw above is sport mode with iso brought down to 200/400

also try to always set White Balance before hand and don't rely on the auto balance on the Lumia920 (for some reason it doesn't perform well in just this phone).
