Sun Yuchen is a liar, thief, charlatan, and all around cunt. But I don't need to tell you that. Find me at Hive, where we are glad to be rid of him and all of his fake followers, sockpuppets, and thieves.
Nice job dude! Low light concert shots can be tricky, but super rewarding and I think you did a great job with these. Going to have to post some of my own now too lol
Hey, thanks @jay-kopinski. I appreciate the praise because of your experience!

Much appreciated :)
I am glad that you are finally getting to shoot some music shows. Though your photos are still and silent, they convey a lot of energy and power.
I can almost imagine what these bands must have sounded like.
Thanks for providing the links so I can check if I was right.
Thanks for the comment! They probably sound different than what you imagine :P
Very Great shotz! Make my funk the Pfunk :)
Thanks! You wants to get funked up?
Always :)
I enjoyed your photos as always pfunk :)
Thanks mrgrey!
Awesome photographs man. Looks like a lot of fun @pfunk
Thanks funnyman :)
Actually it's less fun to shoot a show rather than just enjoy it because your mind is focused on photography, which is a very dynamic set of variables made more dynamic by a live performance. You have to set your camera up properly for exposure, think about positioning yourself and the camera for good framing, composition, and getting a good angle on your subject. You also have to time your shutter right when you think the shot will look the best. You get a feel for when a performer might do something cool based on the structure of the song they're playing. You also have to work diligently to keep your subject in focus. And you have to work around/in the crowd.
But at the end it's something I want to give a good shot at, and now is my opportunity.
You are awesome man @pfunk.
Excellent as always! I've never really done a shoot like this, but I assume it's about as tough as it gets. You've got low light, moving subjects, short-lived significant moments that aren't in your control, compositional constraints, the color temperature issues I saw you mention in chat, and more. You make it look easy!
Well thank you Mike :) Yes, it's a challenge, and the burn rate on captures is pretty high. I just hope to make the ratio high enough to get at least a passable shot of each band member doing something cool.
You rock my world baby :) Yeah!
