Today I will only share photos taken during Seungri and GD&TOP concert photos. Gonna thanks Nikon for the zoom lens that helped me capture GDragon, Top and Seungri's performance far from stage. All photos above was taken using Nikon AF-S VR-NIKKOR 70-200mm 1:2.8G Zoom Lens. It is quite heavy but a very nice lens to have!
Pros and Cons:
Nikon AF-S VR-NIKKOR 70-200mm 1:2.8G can provide really sharp images and able to create beautiful bokeh because of its VR [Vibration Reduction] features. Although it is heavy and might be expensive for DSLR Beginners, I highly recommend you to invest in this because the images created by it will surely satisfy you =)

I was standing this far from the stage. Wonder if there is any other way besides squeezing into the crowd.
Besides, almost everyone have their compact camera and also DSLR for this concert. So I must look for a place at higher level without being blocked by them.
Can you see the amount of cameras in this photo?
Since I was quite new with this zoom lens I was still experimenting it with my humble Nikon D90. Therefore initially the images look blur or somehow tends to focus at the backstage lighting because I was really too far from the stage. If you want to know the tricks on how to get clear images, please continue reading.

GD&TOP performing
GD&Top was like wearing couple shirt. Just that GDragon's more flexible and TOP wearing a colourful coat.
The moment I somehow know the trick to catch clear photos with Nikon AF-S VR-NIKKOR 70-200mm 1:2.8G. Still experimenting

After GD&Top finished their performance, the crowd encores and it bring back both Seungri & GD&Top!! Happier people at the concert instead!
The fans sure cheered and shouted as loud as possible but too bad Seungri didn't take off his pant haha. A very smart move to lure the crowd
Hope you guys especially the fans enjoy this series of photos! I have recorded some video using the Nikkor Zoom lens too. So leave a comment below if you are interested to see the result.
The tips to have clear images when you are using Zoom lens is to use the Live View focusing. First, choose smaller and specific spot Live Focusing area. Then you can use the digital zoom to zoom in and the sensor will able to have more accurate reading of the light resulting sharper images. Hope this helps you =)
Between, a monopod/tripod is quite handy to handle your heavy DSLR attached with the zoom lens.
