Need help picking a good seat
« on: March 12, 2013, 09:07:09 PM »
Hey everyone!  ;D

I'm gonna attend two shows this tour, Istanbul and now I've decided to go at the Belgrade one as well.

It was a pretty late decision, but I've decided. :)

These are the seats left: http://www.eventim.rs/rs/ulaznice/mark-knopfler-beograd-kombank-arena-492990/performance.html#seatmap-selection

Shall I pick the far right one? Will I be sacrificing the real sound for a closer view? Because the middle sounds much better as far as I know.

Also, since these are the early gigs, I guess I'm gonna have the privilege to share pics and maybe some video clips for the awesome folks here. ;)

Haha I don't have any good audio equipment and don't have much experience with that. But I can surely guarantee some good pics and clips if I can get a good view! Got armed with one of these mini beasts: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/SonyNex5Nex3/Images/NEX-5_with_16mm.jpg

IMO, go for view.  Also, Richard is on the right side of stage (looking at stage)...

I've been at the front row at the side a few times now and would definitely have preferred in the middle further back.  You have things like speakers in your field of vision and a crooked neck to deal with as well as feeling like you're watching the concert from afar.  Of course I wouldn't want to be too far back either so it's a bit of a balancing act and personal preference.

Guess what? I have an adapter for Leica M lenses and few others too together with many lenses that my brother has collected over the years :) . I never was much of a photographer myself but my brother and dad surely are as they've been in this field for many years. I somehow feel unworthy of this thing but I'll do my best to capture those moments. This is fits in the pocket easily, so I think I won't be having any problems with the security people.

Thanks for the advice regarding the seat! The middle ones seem pretty far back to me and I don't know whether I'll see anything at all.

I've used many Leica M lenses over the years, al with different characters so if you ever decide to buy one send me a pm and I can give you some advice.  I'm also a member of a few Leica/rangefinder forums.

I chose a different path for myself. But if my brother is interested I'll tell you. Thanks! :)
