Tonight I Just Need My Guitar. by johnfalconer

Tonight I Just Need My Guitar.

By Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023)

This is Paul the classical guitarist. He’s very good. He gave us an hour and a half of his time at the facility I’m in at the moment. I couldn’t really get close for a better shot but I played around with this. Paul said ok for the photo but they frown on photo taking around here!!
Great Image.

Great close up. I love the sound of the classic guitar like this. More beautiful than electric guitars and similar.

I think you did a fabulous job, love all the lines.

A really good shot. It's wonderful to listen to a good guitarist

Outstanding!

That would have been a very pleasant diversion. It appears that even Qantas has brought in inflight controls on photography. You must have the consent of crew, contractors and other passengers before taking photos or videos.

So wonderful .Beautifully composed close-up shot ..fav

Great shot of strumming the acoustic guitar.
November 21st, 2023  
Awesome shot- I'm sure "they" are concerned about maintaining patient privacy but with the artist's permission and nothing showing in the background or surroundings, you've broken no rules as far as I can see! fav

Thanks Anne and Merrelyn. I’m sorry if I sounded a bit flippant about the rules on photography here. I absolutely and totally agree that resident, staff and contractor privacy is paramount. I do not take photos of them at all. Even photos with them in the background.
Visiting entertainers are a little bit different - entertainers here or anywhere for that matter nearly always give the ok to having their photo taken!! 😀😀😊 I usually offer to send them a copy if it’s any good.
Again I apologise for my not so smart comments.

Again, thanks for the much appreciated comments. Please see my other comment to above to Merrelyn and Anne. I was a bit careless with my language in describing the photo. Sorry.
November 21st, 2023  
Incredible photo
November 21st, 2023  
Sounds as though you are kept occupied while you are there. Must be good to have visiting entertainers.
November 21st, 2023  
Delightful, fun shot!
November 21st, 2023  
Wonderful shot. My husband plays so I love a shot like this - just a guitar and hands.
November 21st, 2023  
Great to get the shot - and if they frown on it that sounds like another photo LOL. I'm glad they let you get it. Great shot
November 21st, 2023  
beautiful photo John
November 21st, 2023  
Great close up of it.

Such a beautifully crafted shot.
November 21st, 2023  
A beautiful close up and great in B&W.
November 21st, 2023  
That’s a great close up shot! As the guy consented to the use of the photo, I done think you've done anything wrong either.
November 21st, 2023  
Lovely photo!

Thanks again for commenting. This is the 7th consecutive day that my fellow photographers have got me on the popular page. I’m over the moon. Thanks again.

Very nice image. I sure do miss Jimmy.
November 22nd, 2023  
Wonderful close-up
November 22nd, 2023  
Nice close up of his hands. The facility is probably afraid you'll get a resident and break confidentiality rules.
November 22nd, 2023  
@joysfocus
I didn’t even realise he had passed away. A great musician.
November 22nd, 2023  
@annied
Thanks Annie.

@randystreat
Thanks Kathy. I have no problem with the no people, no equipment detail and no general type photos. I wouldn’t want someone taking photos of me!! 😀😀😀
November 22nd, 2023  
somehow, the shirt matches the instrument.
November 22nd, 2023  
Really nicely done.
November 22nd, 2023  
Staying in a place where they frown on you taking pictures…what a drag. I like the sharp focus on the hand
November 22nd, 2023  
Nicely composed.
November 22nd, 2023  
Very nice shot
November 22nd, 2023  
You rebel you....glad you took it anyway!! Very nice!
November 22nd, 2023

November 22nd, 2023  
Excellent focusing on the thumb on the strings
November 22nd, 2023  
Beautifully captured in wonderful detail suits the monochrome tones perfectly, just can’t better the sound of an acoustic guitar, Fav :)

Thanks for the much appreciated comments.

Fab fav! It is probably a "privacy thing" regarding taking photos!

@gardenfolk
I have no problem with rule. I think it’s fine. I manage however to find non intrusive photos. Showed the manager.
December 5th, 2023  
@johnfalconer That is the best kind of photos to take. I mostly take photos without people in them.
December 5th, 2023  
@gardenfolk
