    Hi Folks,
    I'm heading (down from the north:)) to a gig in Whelan's on Friday, and I'm thinking about bringing my camera to the gig. What are the lights like in Whelan's? Any good?
    I already have a good few photos of the guy playing, so I don't mind not taking the camera to the gig really.

    Also - you should all go to it! Come say hello to me and watch a bloody fantastic show at the same time!

    The venue tends to be very dark (50-100 lux?) and the lights a bit mixed so the stage could be anything from (300-1,000+ lux) with a lot of shadows and contrast.

    B'ah! Quit this roadie talk! Would there be any spotlights etc, or anything else to add atmosphere to a photograph?

    Cheers,
    Steve.

    Yes there are spotlights (with cull-urs) and expect lots of shadow. :) A friends wife took loads of shots there. Just watch you expose time withthe darkness.

    it isnt the best for shots you'd prob need some sort of flash or a nice 50mm 1.8 to help ya. i've been there shooting a few times and i dread it(slattery's is worst but only marginally)
