Not satisfied with missed focus, Frank is now combining it with
too-slow-shutterspeeds. Artsy. Grin. I like it Frank, but even though
sharpness is a bullshit concept, I do wish the horn player's face
was a tad sharper. I've taken plenty like this one, myself.
And like you, I prefer to shoot
I like the composition, and in a web size the shot appears to be relatively
sharp. My biggest nit is the burned out highlight on his hand and jacket. A
stop less exposure overall would solve this and make the shot more dramatic
IMO. You might try scanning the negative and see if there's enough

I know this isn't terribly sharp, as it was handheld about about
1/15th or 1/30th, aperture wide-open, and I think I missed the focus a
It's a good shot.
My only comment is the scan probably isn't doing the print justice.

I don't think I'd have noticed the softness in this image. I feel it
may add to the mood. I like it, for whatever reason.
An LX shutter would have probably interrupted the music. ;-)

Thanks, Jack, and everyone else who's
Lots of technical issues, but a moody and interesting photography
nonetheless.
There is some data in the blown out hand, so a *little* bit of
recovery is possible there. The blacks are a little soft, they should
be deeper. Not a lot to work with but some gentle shaping with dodge

There's much to like here. Composition, the pose of my name brother, he is
supaah cool. I kind of like the burned out hand. It directs my eye to the
most important part of frame. There is no way to miss the trumpet. All this
makes the technical difficulties a non issue.
There is one thing do I

That worked well, Godfrey
Frank - i like this one a lot, the trumpet player very
strong and the pattern
of all the hands. What were they playing? just curious.
I like Godfrey's mucking too, Ann. Thanks,
Nice! The harsh lighting works, and the guitar leads
the eye to the trumpeter. His ear is in focus, it
appears; the softness of the nose-trumpet plane is too
subtle to matter, as long as you don't make this an
8x10!

Woohoo! Beautiful. Lots of mood here, Frank. As far as the
technical stuff goes, technical schmechnical.
