Contradiction – Wuppertal, Live Club Barmen (LCB) – 09.10.2009
Posted by Daniel at 10. Oktober 2009 | Category Concert, Live, Photography, Pictures
And the moment of truth was here. Contradiction was up next to present their new Album ‚The Essence Of Anger‘, after three years the Band was finally back. They opened their set with the titletrack of the new album. Intense, energetic and tight as hell. Singer Koffer was up in the faces of the audience and the band was playing one great song after the next. Unfortunatly they didn’t play the whole Album, but just a couple of selected songs. On the other hand, that left some room for some older Songs. All in all it was a great gig and the audience really enjoyed the show.
Shooting Notes
The Live Club Barmen ist a really small club with low ceiling and no pit, which makes the shooting here really hard. I got lucky and the little club wasn’t packed from the front to the back, so you got enough room to walk around with a little care and get some angles on the artists. Even though I brought the 70-200 f2.8 I knew, that I wouldn’t need it. I was only shooting the 24-70 f2.8 which wasn’t actually wide enough on the Canon 40D. I really need to get myself a full frame camera and a good wide angle lens. The Light though was pretty good, at least from the back, so a flash was really a nice thing to add, even if it was just to get a little light in the faces of the guys.
I was shooting this set at ISO 800 wide open at f2.8 with a shutter speed between a 1/60 and 1/160, depending on the rapid changing light. Next to that I was trying some shutter drags while Contradition were playing… so got the aperture up to f8 and the shutter down to 1/10 and just shoot a couple of frames.

Hi, die Einstellungen waren verschieden. Zum einen habe ich mit Blitz bei Blende f2.8, ISO 800 mit Einstellungen zwischen 1/60 und 1/200 gearbeitet und ohne Blitz mit f2.8 bei 1/200…
Die Langzeitbelichtungen sind bei ISO 800 Blende f8 und 1/10 mit Blitz gemacht.
