Congrats babe! This is really a great shot. The thing is that I love the heart in the backround the most. It just makes this come together.

I really love how his head is tilted a litte bit...you can almost feel him singing. Wonderful!

I'm in awe.
You have more than successfully captured a musician's intimacy with the mic.
This is radiating with emotion.

I love the focus, the colours, the unsharp background with that hearth, that tender expression of him... I even love his beard.

It's just really tender. Had to fav it, even if it wasn't a DD. Congrats anyway.

adoublesea [2008-09-04 23:07:56 +0000 UTC]

The coloration is a very good effect. I really like the composition too.

Wheezy77 [2008-09-04 22:58:35 +0000 UTC]

I love the colors, like everyone else said, the detail, and the composition. It must have taken a while to get him at precisely the right moment for this piece.

The blurred background also works perfectly.

BTW: I'd really apreciate it if you'd take a look at my gallery. You're obviously an excellent photographer, and I'd like your opinions on my work.

This is really enjoyable!!!
I photograph at concerts too, do you think your canon 50mm is a good choice for such a job? Because I've read, that this lense has huge problems with the focusing. But it's sooo cheap and I want it! Dang!

Demonic-Rabbit [2008-09-04 14:39:44 +0000 UTC]

50mm?

Did you crop it down or were you really that much in his face? I'm guessing the former, but it'd be interesting to know.

spacesuitcatalyst In reply to Demonic-Rabbit [2008-09-04 23:23:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, 50mm with the 1.6 crop factor of the XT = 80mm equivalent. So yah. I was still a little in his face though. Don't think I cropped this one...

Demonic-Rabbit In reply to spacesuitcatalyst [2008-09-05 09:38:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah, I forgot about the crop factor, that makes sense. Haha, great frame though mate

I ask, because there were lots of hearts during on DDs during the period 28 August - 23rd September.

Thanks for the reply.

Santos-means-Saint [2008-08-25 15:50:02 +0000 UTC]

this is amazing.

the DOF, the color, the expression you captured is all very honest and revealing.

being a musician myself, i really enjoy looking at this. it makes me wonder what kind of story i'm telling with my expression when i'm playing.

so, yeah, this is worthy of a daily deviation 100%

if you wanna get technical: Your DOF is fantastical!
