fotografr Posted August 18, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) One of my favorite events here in my city is a program called "Jazz At 5." On Wednesdays throughout the late summer a downtown street is closed off, tables and chairs are set up, and people get to come and listen to great jazz--all free. This week we heard Ben Sidran (on piano), who also happens to live here. Lighting was a bit tricky because the crowd was bathed in late afternoon sun and the musicians were in the shade. M7, Nocti (mostly at f/1.4), Fuji Velvia 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrewer Posted August 18, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 18, 2006 Now, that's what I call Leisure!!! Fabulous shots all, Brent...wonderful color, contrast and focus. Thanks for sharing! Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 18, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Brent, nice shots. Favourite is the second one. The first is sooo close, but spoiled by the foliage covering the hat IMHO. If you're ever in Paris in summer there's a similar thing in one of the parks. I saw Erik Trufaz and E.S.T. there for the princely sum of 1 Euro admission to the park. Thanks for sharing.

stunsworth Posted August 19, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2006 You can see this year's program here - Paris Jazz Festival 2006 au Parc floral du 10 juin au 30 juillet 2006 - click on 'Programme'. Buddy Guy for 3 Euros, not bad value! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted August 19, 2006 Share #9 Posted August 19, 2006 I love the dreamy images the Noctilux has given you. It creates a relaxed, 'musical' atmosphere that really works with the subject. Colors look warm and rich. Did you use fill flash on these? DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks for the program, Steve. That really sounds like a great time to me. Maybe next year the Challenge could be timed to coincide? And 3 Euros. That's crazy. Dan-Thanks much. The Nocti does work well with this kind of shooting. I didn't use any fill but I probably would have if I'd taken my SF-20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
