Young Musician

I used my 50mm 1.8 Canon prime at 1/125s-1.8f-400ISO.

(Credit to Nic Miller for the idea of this set up.)

Say, two comments. First, nice choice of angle. It makes me feel connected to the Piano. Secondly, B&W was an excellent choice. It really brings out the purity of the pic.
So, Good one!

Thats a good one. I like it. I agree with thesinger, it just wouldn’t have worked as well in B&W.

Diana Miller, my little cousin, was the *ahem* experienced player.

Benji, I decided to use your idea and took *many* photos today of the same setup using my little Sony DSC-P200. LOL!! I now have a greater respect for what you accomplished in ‘Young Musician’.

Exuberant!!! This is the best picture I’ve seen of yours yet, and not because you credited me with the composition, either. The lighting on yours creates a quite different, more intimate feel than mine. Beautifully done.
