Also, watch the blown highlights on the guys hands (I know sometimes it's hard in bright light)
You and me both! I so wish i had caught the shot a little better.

Quite nicely really.
Thanks, this is one of those , hm, does it drive the eyes crazy pics
Originally posted by mel I think the first one needs to have a bit more of the in-focus guitar included. There's so much of the blurred part that my brain is tricked into thinking that's the focal area, tries to focus there and it makes my eyes hurt. If the focused part was a bit larger(or more of it) and a bit higher it wouldn't hurt so much. I have to take my eyes off it really quickly to keep them from hurting.
I really like the 2nd one. The highlights don't bother me on that one. I suppose it would be good to have more detail in the hand but it's still a very nice shot. It's very obviously taken in the bright sun and that's probably how it would look to the eye as well. And it's a different view as he's tuning rather than playing.
Both are a nice and interesting new way of seeing. The color is amazing. Nice work.
I really wish I had caught this shot a little different, more of the head of the lower G. that would have made it so much better I think.
Originally posted by vievetrick I am with Mel on this.
Originally posted by tdmsu I think they look great! I like the bokeh in both, and the second one captures an "intimate" moment between musician and instrument.
I was trying to do something a little different. This was my first band shot and it was out side off the patio of a rest. and right in front of a bunch of trash cans too. Ugh, no way of not catching them in the shots. Band was great though and I want to see if they are playing some where else.
