Front Page Feature Photo
previous / nextThis photo was recently featured for a front page feature article on the NJIO in a local newspaper's "PrimeTime" entertainment and culture insert. The photo was 1/2 of the cover page.
My kids have been involved with the NJIO for the past few years. They have since left the group because of scheduling conflicts, but their time there was very well spent. They learned a lot and met a wonderful group of people who share a passion for playing great music together.
The woman and child and this photo are actually mom and her very accomplished young son cellists playing side by side in the orchestra.
It was shot with my D200 at ISO 1600 1/100 sec. with my 80-200 mm f / 2.8 lens @125 mm @ f / 4.0. That is the typical set up I use for shooting at these concerts.
I apologize for my absence but work is piling up...which is a good thing! But it keeps me from having time to post.
Russ has made his decision about college. I will reveal it when he has signed his letter of intent and sent it in. He was accepted to some very fine schools and I think he has made a good decision that will give him a lot of opportunities to explore all the possibilities available to him. Whew! What an amazing, sometimes exciting, sometimes disappointing, and stressful experience this past year has been for him and us on this journey. I am very proud of him.

Congratulations about your son and I'll be looking forward to your announcement. Another congratulations on your photo being published. It's exceptional and I can see why they wanted to use it. Such a wonderful talent and joy this Mother and son share. I play the piano, as does our daughter and I miss being near her and sharing that talent. Your photo brings nice and sad memories:-)
Congratulations!
A superb portrait of mother a son! I can understand they choose your image for their cover!
Congrats to you son... glad to hear he was accepted in a good university!

Terrific portrait Laurie. You capture the skin tones to perfection.
Congratulations on Russ's acceptance. He has the whole world at his feet.
A "Little Man". Great image.

CONGRATULATIONS again for your son's acceptance
Congrats! A wonderful image!
wow, very well framed, man! Look at him, he will be a great maestro!
Not sure if this is working, but congrats again.
I really like this one. Really candid, and *in* the moment.
A special portrait, of great emotion. The boy has the beauty of a "Cherubino".
Congrats to you son!
Fabulous photo! I'm especially impressed with the excellent light on the two musicians. The angle you chose is excellent, with the two head forming a diagonal line intersecting with the parallel diagonals of the instruments. Very well done. And, congratulations on having it used!
Not to worry about not having time to visit websites. That's life.
awesome..! congratulations once again laurie..!
how come even though this is shot at iso 1600 there is next to NO noise..!
A great capture that becomes better just because of it being a mother and son being able to share the same love. Very cool.
