The Maestro Conducting the Final Crescendo by alophoto

The Maestro Conducting the Final Crescendo

I was fascinated by the conductor during the symphony. Love watching how he made his body small during the quiet parts and big during the dramatic parts. And then I had the idea to try a zoom burst for the challenge. My 2 attempts using the camera didn't come out great, so this one was done in post processing. Just liked the way it showed the music bursting forth with the conductor leading in the middle. Noticing that his body is small here. Maybe this was not a loud part? Oh well.

See how great our seats were. That is a story for another day.

Posting photo 2 today as photo 1 went over like a lead balloon:).

Lovely shot and your addition of a zoom burst works really well. Nice.

This is great with the focus in the centre on the conductor. I hadn't thought to do the zoom burst in editing.
