Russell at Rehearsal
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful feedback on the previous post. I am so pleased that you all liked it.The other day I posted an abstract of Russell playing his bassoon here. I decided to post a shot of Russell from Youth Orchestra Rehearsal. This was taken a couple of weeks ago. I take a lot of photos of the orchestras that we are involved with and most often they are candid shots like this one.
The youth orchestra is a wonderful group of very talented young musicians. Both Jon and Russell have been members for the past several years. Since joining this group their musicianship has improved greatly and they play some very challenging music. All original classical pieces no arrangements.

You have very talented young men there. Those are difficult instruments to master.
Nice shot and composition.
very well taken shot, I like the angle.
quel portrait magnifique. si l'on tend l'oreille on a l'impression d'entendre la musique.
Awesome awesome DOF, colours and overall composition. I agree with you on how inspirational and good youth orchestras can be
I second the awesome DOF...enough that you can see the other musicians, but your son (and main subject) is in sharp focus. You brought out the rich colors of the violas, too...or are they violins? I suspect violas since they are located in the back with the bassoon.
Nice shot, Laurie. I'm impressed by people who play these kind of instruments. Makes me short of breath just thinking about it. :-)
Laurie, I like your slice-of-life approach to these photos. It will mean a lot for him to have this photo someday. You must be very proud of him.
Nice shot, Laurie. :) I'm surprised how relaxed his face looks... I look quite different when I play!
Very talented kid you have there :d
Suby
Lovely shot, the soft focus on the secondary subjects is perfect. It must be quite a treat to have access like this.
wow Laurie, this is an absolutely gorgeous shot! Love it!!! This has such a warm and wonderful feel to it ... amazing shot.
Nice DOF!
Superb instruments! I am sure the music must be "heavenly"!
The DOF here is spot on! I like the look of concentration on the violin players' faces.
Perhaps you should post some of their music :-)
Awesome portrait in action! I like the expression on the faces of these young gentlemen!
Lovely shot, I've add your blog to my links
