Tognetti the Violinist

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Tognetti the Violinist

A few more shots from the Don Spencer Charity Ball of a guy named Richard Tognetti playing violin... it was an incredibly performance but I have this feeling that a lot of people just didn't get it... oh well...

Leigh

All interesting shots, but #3 despite we don't see his face is by far the strongest of these.

The third shot is awesome! I really like how you captured the backlighting and light rays.

Good images of an incredible artist. I kinda like the soft green colours of the background, but the B&W shots grab more this time. No. 3 has a lot of grab, but would have been nice to sight the eyes. No.4 is good too. Can't decide! Damn the microphones. I have been cursing them for years! :evil:

Nice stuff.

Leigh,

A nice series of shots. Great to capture a master at work (and not staged!).

I also like the lighting effect.

Cheers

I'm so envious!

Some invitations you're getting, Leigh, seeing Tognetti live up close! The "guy named Richard Tognetti" is one of the foremost Australian musicians, and head of the excellent ACO. I would have loved to be there, probably would have forgotten to take pictures...

Some exquisite images, btw. I'd be tempted to clone out that pink spotlight.

Cheers
Steffen.

Steffen,

I have this sheer luck of knowing who no one is.

Hell, it's probably sheer ignorance as opposed to luck.

That said, I've always loved music photography... I love music and photography, the two go together. I've still got some more to post. :)

Still, extraordinary musician. Never heard of him before now, but I only listen to a few solo violinists.

Lovely shots Leigh. I prefer#3 in b&w and #2 in coloured shots. Agree with Steffen about the spotlight.
Cheers,
Mick

Yeah I like the last one two. The light behind him works like a fat halo or something - very nice.
