Music on the Porch

Friends hosted an informal get together for a bluegrass band called the RFD Boys, who were performing the next night at the Community Center. A pot luck dinner with friends, good food, and music by the band on the porch -- plus beautiful weather -- made for a special evening. Joddy Crosswhite, one of our best known island musicians, was in the audience front and center.
Friends are visiting so minimal time for commenting - apologies in advance.

Great use of DoF and great composition. That man on the front row seems to be quite a character, did you capture a portrait image of him?

[Taffy]

@leonbuys83 Many years ago I did a portrait sitting with him -- he was so cooperative! I posted a few of them, one from 2013 and one from 2017:

beautifully done! tells a story and the detail on that instrument is wonderful

[Angelika van Rooyen]

A fantastic capture, Taffy

[Lynne]

Wonderful perspective, focus and DOF choices

[Denise (lyndemc)]

The instrument sits there, silent. But when the musician picks it up, it's amazing how it sings.

[gloria jones]

Fabulous dof

I really like how you composed this shot- especially with your local celebrity gracing the front row.

Great choice of focus!

I absolutely love your composition with the instrument focused, but with a hint of the people in the background. An absolute fav.
