Ching Dul at Mojo West : Shot at Mojo West in Kitayama, Kyoto. Was a fun show, with a mix of the normal music they play, and Jazz. The trumpet play named Tommy was really good, and the mix they created was amazing. I was also playing with my friends 50mm lens at this shoot, so I was able to get some shots I have not been able to get so far. Good learning process for sure.

Ching Dul Kobe Live : This is my first live shoot with the new D300s, so I have to apologize that I miss shot a bit of the start of the show. As you can tell though, I got it dialed in pretty quick. This show was another Ching Dul only live show, this time in Kobe. There was a very good turnout and it was a great show as always. I even got recognized by some of the ladies in the front row, wee!

Ching Dul Heart Festa 2010 : Photos from the Heart Festa 2010 held in Osaka. This was a festival for people with special needs. As you can see in the last pictures they really enjoyed the show. I was quite amazed at how captivated everyone became with the music. People who were screaming uncontrollably during the breaks would calm down and enjoy they music right as it began. It was quite something to watch. Unfortunately, the lighting was not super great, and my D200 is not the best camera out there at high ISO, anyways, enjoy the photos =)

Ching Dul at Houzenin : This live show was in a small temple in Higashiyama called Houzenin. Normaly you can't even enter this room, never mind see a great live show. I must say though, as I couldn't move at all once the show got going, and it was pretty dark over all, it was a pretty challenging shoot. But turned out well in the end=)
