thank you for the kind words, sir audiofilio.
settings:
Canon 7D => shutter priority mode, spot metering, 1/40sec., f/5, ISO 800, exposure bias -0.3step
Canon efs 10-22 => at 18mm
for hurried shots or when i can not get it right, i set the cam on Program mode and then click&click away

Doc Fer, di pa pasmado ang kamay mo!
usually as a rule of thumb, for hand held, the shutter speed should be at least 1 over the focal length ( in sec).
so if your focal length is 50mm, your shutter speed should be at least 1/50sec...since you pegged your speed
at 1/40sec, it was safe to shoot at 18mm focal length....(tama ba ako Doc )
btw, i used this 'rule' specially when shooting at long focal lengths

This is very true, the reciprocal of the focal length is usually the case in telephoto lenses. However, with the advent of IS, VR, OS, VC, whatever they call it, one would have the ability to lower the shutter speed, or to maintain a comfortable shutter speed and crank up the ISO. In some extreme cases, I'd crank up to ISO6400 on my D700 & D800 using fast zooms & / or primes. However, having said that, I'd still prefer to use a tripod & remote shutter specially for night shots and use the base ISO. To me, the most important issue is how to get my composition right & how clean my image is. Forget this bragging rights of hand held at slow shutter speeds specially for night photography. Can you imagine how much better an image would be at base ISO?

Agree, But then again...it will be very cumbersome to be bringing tripods in concerts
