"Music In The Park"

"Music In The Park"

I like this image for it's very simple composition. I've positioned the violinist standing within the curve of the band shell at a local park. The tree in the distance hints at the outdoor setting, while the left side of the band shell provides a perfect - almost moving background for the subject. Primary illumination was provided by my off-camera flash being shot through a 36 inch translucent umbrella to soften the light on the subject. Notice how the soft violin shadows are not distracting as they fall on the subject. Also notice how nicely the shadows next to the highlights provide nice dimension to the musicians face. Camera specs; Canon 5D fitted with 24-105mm IS lens at 58mm, F6.3 @ 1/200 second, ISO 125. Enjoy! -David

  1. Blasphemy! Where is the rule of thirds?

    I do like how the composition flows together, its a good example of being able to break the rules.
