Mster the manual functions and you will open up a whole new world. It takes a while but once you get famiar with them it will broaden your scope. Most DSLRs have all manual functions at your finger tips. Using auto is fine but very limiting and really a waste of a good camera. I shoot a lot in low light and auto is just too slow, cumbersome and limiting (even with top end cameras). By manual functions I am reffering too shutter speed, aperture and focus. Once confident you will open up a whole new world to yourself.
Dont be thinking its all too complicated. Basicly all you are doing is controlling how much light enters the camera with aperture, how long for with shutter speed and of course image focus. Master these functions and you will reap the rewards.
My best tip is that you can never take enough photos. At a typical concert I will take around 3000 images and get a handful good images plus one or two great images.
