The Musician

Oh Paul, I’m speechless…..

A great portrait. Good contrast, expression, and lightning.

Hey there Torfinn! Thank you so very kindly! :D

A great portrait

Thank you so very much Reck!! :D

Good portrait. I love the beautyful tones in grey and black. Is he a drummer? He looks like a drummer …

Not even close mate!! ;p
He’s a guitarist!! Thanks for the kind comments FlyBoy!
Hey, how many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
50! One to change the bulb and the other forty nine to stand around saying “Duh, I could’ve done that”!

Funny! This guitarist looks a bit like the drummer of a Dutch band, Golden Earring. He is called
Cesar Zuiderwijk

Excellent portrait Paul, beautiful light!

OMG FlyBoy, you are right too!! LOL!! :D

Thank you very kindly Catalin! :D

Great work Paul!

Thank you so very much to Judith, Antoine, Susan, JK & Malin! :D

Fantastic shot. Brilliant

I underline all above.

Thank you very much Jeff and MaryO! :D

The tonal range of your B&W shots is excellent, PLV. Do you fiddle much with the manual settings of the Alpha or let it do the thinking? Nice shot ,and a very typical muso expression!

what a fantastic expression you’ve captured

Hey there manotron! I usually leave the Alpha in “p” mode and seem to be adjusting the EV range continually, just something that works for me. Thanks mate!

Thank you so very much Jessica!! :D
I must admit that i took about 60 shots to get the expression i wanted!!

Hi Paul Louis, this is a wonderful portrait of a guitarist, you’ve captured ‘that ‘look they get.with great emotion;)...even though he could be on a break and balancing a J & B ;)
