Piano still life by franbalsera

Piano still life

This is my Get-Pushed-604. @farmreporter suggested a musical still life featuring a piano and music sheets. I have completed the composition with a porcelain figure of a musician from the Portico of Glory.
Hi @farmreporter. This is the photo you suggested for the get pushed challenge. I hope you like it.

Very nice composition!
Is your white balance set correctly? This seems to be a bit on the yellow side.
You can probably correct it in post processing by setting the white balance to auto.
But I do love the addition of your little figurine to balance out your shot and add a touch of whimsy!

Those days of playing the piano are gone for me. I think the tone gives this a vintage look. The keys on the piano I grew up playing were yellowish and some of the music was too. Challenge met.

@farmreporter Thank you. I think the problem was the light in the room because it is warm light. Thanks for your advice.

What I love about having a partner in the get pushed challenge is that your partner is supposed to help you learn and not just give nice comments.
You can adjust the light balance either in camera or in post processing.
Are you using a camera or a phone? Most cameras have a White Balance in their menu somewhere. I set the white balance on my camera to auto and it usually does a good job of figuring out whether I am shooting outside on a bright day or inside under lights.
I believe that a lot of phones also have a white balance in their menu so you can adjust the white balance to the light conditions you have.
Failing that, you can correct your white balance in post processing using whatever program you may have – most basic photo editing programs that may come with your computer or laptop would have some sort of white balance correction or filter.
Here is an excellent article all about white balance. I hope you are not offended with my comments.

@farmreporter I have discovered that I can adjust white balance with my phone. I take photos with it. I have a lot to learn about photos!

Hi. As your get pushed partner can you please capture something of Architectural interest. I have been to Barcelona several times and other parts of Spain but not familiar with Zaragoza. On googling the city I notice that there is a gothic influence although I will leave the choice of architecture up to you.

@wakelys Hello Susan. I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to go downtown to take this week's challenge photo. However, tomorrow I travel to Barcelona. Is it okay if I take a photo of the historic building in that city?
