I really like this one.

kadenajack said 458 days ago:

This is a unique and inspired shot. If the sheet music was just a little brighter, I think I would have given it all 5's.

philimages said 457 days ago:

Dommage de n'avoir pu débocher les mains. Belle composition originale!

taikrixel said 457 days ago:

i like the angle and the idea. but for me it's not the best, because it's too dark and the composition doesn't work perfect.

setaou said 457 days ago:

The idea is damned good, but technically, it is not so easy... One question : why the camera at the left ?

King said 457 days ago:

Very neat. I like the camera on the music stand. Are you a musician? What are the circumstances of this photo?

pursang said 457 days ago:

What an absolutely wonderful concept. The execution is good. I just wish the blown out lighting at the top was not there and the music a bit crisper. But still overall a well done shot. Congratulations!

Ooh,nice angle and tones.

eggplant said 457 days ago:

Thanks all...as usual, 3.746; which is just fine.
@all: the data here is:
0.4 sec shutter, f/2.0, 100mm lens, hand-held, no post processing
See, sometimes the idea is not just technical quality, although I understand why most people expect it.
@King: I am a guitar player, but this is my wife playing her harp. The circumstances are, simply, me holding my camera wondering if I can make an acceptable shot at 1/4 of a second...nearly impossible, as you can see here. But, the quality of light and the movement are indicative of the, well, feel of the moment.
@pursang & kadenjack: yes, full agreement.
Again, thanks all.

eggplant said 457 days ago:

Oh, and sorry,
@setaou & King: that is not a camera, that is a digital tuner (if any of you play the harp, you will appreciate how hard it is to keep in tune), although I was so convinced that it was a camera when I looked at the photo, and yet baffled that I/we don't have a camera that looks like that.

eggplant said 457 days ago:

Sorry, one more:
@philimages: je ne parl pas francais, mais...merci beaucoup! (that's the best I can muster after four years of high school French!)
:-)

King said 456 days ago:

eggplant,
I think that the harp is a delightful instrument. If you get to hear harp music in your house, you are a fortunate man. Can you resist sometimes running your fingertips across the strings?

Congratulations on the feature.

eggplant said 456 days ago:

Thanks King, no...I can not resist!
