Spacefunk @ VU Livehouse

Tweet

After their gig at Bliss a couple of weeks ago, Spacefunk returned to the stage at VU Livehouse in Ximending, Taipei. Supporting the Moneyshot Horns (photos coming later this week), Spacefunk kicked things off close to midnight with their blend of funky electro tunes. I’ll let the pictures do the talking for now – don’t forget to click on them for the larger version. Shooting and technical notes are at the end of the post.

Shooting Notes – This was a much better venue for shooting than the last time I photographed Spacefunk. I mostly used the Canon EOS 5D Mk II at ISO ranging from 1600 up to 6400. The Canon EOS 40D was used for a handful of shots at ISO1600. Lenswise, the better stage lighting allowed me to shoot quite a bit with a 70-200mm f4L, which was shot either wide open or at f5.6. I also used the 17-40mm at the same apertures and 50mm at either f2.8 or f5.6 at different times throughout the night. Everything was shot in manual with shutter speeds varying according to the lens. Most of the photos taken with the long zoom had a shutter speed of either 1/80 or 1/125. The normal and wide lens were generally shot at 1/50 or 1/30.

    Great captures, Craig. Shooting in clubs can be difficult. Even at the 40Ds max ISO with a 50 f/1.4 I haven't had a great deal of success. I don't go to clubs that much so my chances are few and far between.

    I tried out your "fresh" lighting tutorial over the weekend. The post will be up later this week. I really need a second flash.

    Thanks Stevo. It is tough shooting in clubs, but it's a lot of fun. The first shot in this post was with the 40D @ ISO 1600 and the lens @ f4.

    Awesome photos Craig. I wish I'd known you were going. I was sitting at a friend's house and we were looking for something to do. I suggested checking out Bliss and was outnumbered four to one for Roxy 99. Needless to say, my evening was a disappointment. Next time, I'll have to fly solo.

      Thanks Carrie. There's a great gig at the same place coming up this Saturday night – Rock and Roll Circus.
