... they made for their instrument.
Don't you agree ? :-)

Took this one on the yearly festivity in my home town.
Almost a year ago hmmm.

Tech :

Because I didn't gave attention to the f-stop
I got a large DOF. That was stupid !
So I used Gaussian blur on the back ground.
Found it quite a job extracting those two.

Cloned out some ugly papers on the street

Did some cropping because they where in front of a table.

Then the usual thing : contrast, sharpning, levels
and resize.

Hope to post some photos of the next festivity
THIS year ... ;-)

Hope you like this one
Greetings

I can't believe it, you really posted another picture, Jan? LOL.
Reading your note I can see why you say "I'm working on another post"... must have been quite some work getting a good extraction. Well, it paid off, I guess... Also because you kept the GB within reason; setting it too harsh would create a blurry halo around the musicians.

Still, one nit-pick: between the ring of the tuba and the player's body/arm I can see a SHARP piece of the bike's wheel!

I like how you kept the whites in control here, they still contain lots of detail.

Die rechtse lijkt wat op een bepaalde collega van ons, niet?

Sjo Janneman een toeterplaat :-)
Must agree with Dingo, ther selction isn't perfect indeed the sharp bike wheel. Also I think the tuba is OE in my opinion. Decreasing brihtness and increasing contrast and saturation might improve the image. Nevertheless the scene is priceless a nice twin of toetering musicians :-)
Nice spotted Jan!

Jan,

Dit zijn toch momenten waarop je non-stop aan het fotograferen bent. Wat een klus om de achtergrond bij deze heren wazig te maken. Als Frank het niet had gezegd van dat fietswiel, dan had ik het niet direct gemerkt.
Inderdaad als je toch bezig bent wel even de straat aanvegen.
Dus in september heb je dit festival al in je agenda staan!
Maar het mooiste is toch wel de ronde man in zijn rondgebogen instrument en de slanke met zijn slank instrument - fantastisch gezien.

TFS
Els

Hi dear friend,
:))) totally agree with you!
Best wishes,
Ioana
:) soon
