[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking on the streets of the crowded citadel during the Medieval Festival i found this man playing at his Sarod
people was listening his music and buying his CDs
The sarod is a stringed musical instrument, used mainly in Indian classical music. Along with the sitar, it is the most popular and prominent instrument in Hindustani (northern Indian) classical music. The sarod is known for a deep, weighty, introspective sound (contrast with the sweet, extremely rich texture of the sitar) with sympathetic strings that give it a resonant, reverberant quality. It is a fretless instrument able to produce the continuous slides between notes known as meend (glissandi), which are very important to Indian music. (Wiki)

hi Oana ...so beautiful shot of this musician great colors and details . nice useful note too ... great to be there to listing and see all this .. good work thanks for posting .
Harout.

this is a nice moment, although i prefer taking photos of musicians when they're not looking into their instrument...at that time they (or should i say we, since i'm a musician myself) express more feelings through the face....
nice light and sharpness...

Alper

Oana,
Ce interesanta captura...un instrument care, pentru mine, este total necunoscut...cred ca agest gen de fotografie este exact ce isi doreste TL!Cel ce il manuieste nu pare a avea origini indiene sau asiatice...sau si la noi exista oameni ce stiu sa utilizeze un atat de interesant instrument?Felicitari!

Hello Oana,
I have never seen this instrument as far as I can remember. Your capture of the musician and instrument is perfect as it shows his tenacity to perfecting the song he is playing. A close in scene that is worthy of a stop to listen to his song.
Well Captured...
Steve

dear Oana,
a beautiful shot of very interesting player with sarod.
as a portrait shot, the air of him and his performance is well captured in it.
and I like this tone of colors and mild light condition, right shining orange cloth looks like the lamp lighting him.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi Oana
Nice documentary shot, good image quality and lighting
Very amazing musical instrument which I guess must be Indian and you mention in your note,
Best wishes, Alireza
