It would be nice to listen to him.

Such a nice banjo! Great capture.

I like his dress.....coat, neck tie, hat....and guitar in hand.....what a wonderful shot....

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Diana]

Quite the colourful suit for this gentlemanly banjo player! Somehow it all comes together and makes for an awesome portrait!

[Simon]

Lovely capture

[Allison Williams]

What a spiffy outfit. (Don't you love that word? It seemed appropriate for his garb.)

[Caren]

Nice shot! That's quite a colorful outfit he has on!

[Yvonne]

Now that is a fun suit ; ) Loved your article--I don't own a 50 mm lens, but will have to put it on my "wish list". Thanks.

He's got that Burl Ives vibe going for him.

[Ian Fisher]

Great portrait of this colourful character!

[Jill]

Looks like a good time!

[Charlene Barker]

Totally agree with Ian and Jill

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

EEEEK! A banjo! (It's an old folk custom to make derisory remarks about banjos, also melodeons, bodhrans, etc. etc. Mustn't let the side down)

I like the angle very much. Enigmatic expression there - is he consciously busy inside the music, channeling it from brain to fingers, or on auto pilot and thinking about something else entirely? I love watching instrumentalists playing. Melodeon players in particular pull wonderful faces.

[Cindy McFarland]

Great capture and pov!

[Maggiemae]

They make it look so easy! He would be able to sing as well?

[Shirley Chetwynd]

wow a well dressed busker great capture.

[Katie]

I tier to watch the video on your site about taking a cool perspective jump shot, but the video was about rear curtain flash ...

[Netkonnexion]

@archaeofrog - Hi, Not sure what happened there. I just tried it and it worked fine about the jump. Er... is it possible you double clicked it? If you do that it is possible to start one of the other embedded links. If you try reloading the page and click it once on the play 'triangle' it should work. I can't replicate your problem so that is the only thing I can suggest - sorry.

[Katie]

@netkonnexion So weird. Maybe something related to being a mobile device? ( Nexus 7 tablet). Still the same.

[Netkonnexion]

I just tried it on my Android, no problem. I changed the link on my page to a new copy of the link from YouTube, no problem. Both work fine. Here is a link to the YouTube page for you to see it direct... http://bit.ly/VlehI7

[Netkonnexion]

@archaeofrog - Er, just tried it on another phone. No problem. Sorry, I just cannot replicate the problem. Not sure what to do. Hope you can see it on the direct link. Sorry, not much help here...

[Sweet Calliope]

He looks like quite the character. Wish I could have heard him play! I just received my 50mm prime in the mail yesterday and can't wait to start playing around with it.

[Netkonnexion]

@sweetcalliope - Excellent. Enjoy. I LOVE mine!

[Karen H]

Great portrait and the background gives good context.

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Amazing portrait. Love the colours and he looks like a really interesting character.

[Livia]

Would like to hear his music! Great candid shot. 8)

[Ken Lemieux]

A good find

[michelle mcintyre]

Great candid - like your pov!!

[Katie]

@netkonnexion Finally had the time to look up the 'jump' video on my Dell computer, and the link worked just fine. Tried again on my tablet, just now, and now it is the correct link too. Wonder why it was off before ...

[Netkonnexion]

@archaeofrog - it may be something to do with the browser cache not being clear. Its not easy for me to analyse from here. Sorry.
Glad it worked ok in the end.

[Sybil Freeman]

great portrait

[Myrna O'Hara]

Love this, especially the jacket, vest, tie combo of color. Love the sound of a banjo too.
