Oliver, I really like the banjo shot...it has great detail and focus. I'm not a fan of the trumpet shot, as I feel like it's cropped too close and you lose too much of the scene. I like the drum shots...particularly  this one. The selective focus works well...with still setting the scene.
I find the most difficult part about shooting musicians is, I always want just the artist and the instrument...and not all the other stuff (cables, microphones, lights). It's hard to find a great angle to achieve this.
Love Jazz Festivals...my favorite type of music. Luckily I'm married to a bass player and have another musician as a Brother-In-Law...both play jazz! |
