During the early part of Friday’s accordion event, Ginger was happily enjoying the music while keeping an eye on the goings on outside. The fellow in the wingtips is her friend.

The weekend and holiday shots.
Les accordéonistes
Yesterday, my accordéoniste wife and I played a few tunes at the grand re-opening ceremony at Smythe’s Accordion Center in Oakland, CA. The event featured lots of fine musicians. I kept my G11 handy and took shots throughout the day. Here are two faves (that they are both diagonal shots is purely a coincidence).

Trolley lines
A short post because I’ve got a cold. Simplicity.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/250sec at f/16, ISO 200.

Studio impressions
From our recent recording sessions, impressions from two different cameras. The first is from the T2i. I took the image through a double glazed soundproofing window with the lens fully zoomed. The reflections off the window glass were very cooperative, as were the musicians.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm.
Settings: 1/8 second at f/5.6, ISO 800.
This image of the tuba was taken with the G11. The G11’s articulating LCD screen makes high and, as in this case, low angle framing super easy. For dramatic effect, in post-production I added a bit of vignetting in Nik Silver Efex then overlayed the black and white layer with the original using the layer palette’s “Color” menu selection.
Settings: 6.1mm, 1/60 second at f/2.8, ISO 400.

Old bone
Like I said in my last post, we had a busy weekend in the studio recording songs for our next album. While the horn players were working their magic inside, I was out and about in the overcast, drizzly weather grabbing images. This old skull hanging on the wall outside the studio caught my eye. I took several shots of it, but this straight on, close-up view was my fave.
