Photo Of The Day September 2016

[inkmich]

In a change from the usual landscape shots I'd normally take in DC, here's probably my first people-shot on the forum. Trombonist and drummer at a Peace Corp celebration on the lawns of the Capitol building. Tried to take Micky Do's helpful pointers into account. Comments always appreciated.


Musician by another scotsman, on Flickr

Very nice. Depth of field, clarity, sense of action. I should also point out that it helps that I'm a big fan of jazz (I'm assuming they are playing jazz; it could be classical I guess as it and jazz are the only genres of music that feature trombonists that I can think of).

I just put the first roll of film through my new (well, it's kind of old, but new to me) Mamiya C330 TLR. Medium format street photography is a whole new ballgame!

The show must go on @ Phuket Rugby 10s '16 - Fujifilm X20; ISO 200, f2.5 @ 1/240

These youngsters lost their families in the 26 Dec 2004 tsunami. They are looked after by the Asia Centre Foundation, the charity supported by the Phuket Rugby 10s. Just as they started their performance the sky opened with a tropical downpour.

Another Dragon fly. I thought this little guy looked depressed!
Maybe he knows winter is coming!

Mamiya up close by Alex, on Flickr

Mamiya C330 + Ilford HP5+ 400.
I'm actually pretty surprised this 80mm f2.8 focuses this close.

Wow! Well done on coming up with a unique angle on the GGB. That is really quite compelling! Bravo!

Much appreciated inkmich. Sounded like jazz to my untrained ear but actually had a tune I could recognise and follow (dig at some of the 'improvisational' jazz I've come across in the past). The musician was clearly enjoying playing and it came across in his performance.

Back to my usual people-free comfort zone. Comments always appreciated.

Another Dragonfly. They were very restful, but I wish I'd had my macro lens on me.
