Making Music

Most days when my son gets home from school and again after dinner, he picks up his guitar and plays for a while. I took this the other night and then took a bunch more shots tonight and this was still my favorite.

Here's what he was playing: http://youtu.be/8UE5NV-UoGM

Really great composition. It almost looks like we are seeing from the musician's eyes. Nicely done.

[Carrie Oakey]

love it!

[Rick Schies]

Love the perspective Laurie, and that is a great song.

[Terry]

Wish this had sound. Good capture of his playing

[Melissa Pike]

I love this! The focus is fantastic, and this is a perfect shot for the theme!

[Laurie Higgins]

@melissapike I thought of you when I took this, Melissa. Not only because you are a musician, but because you challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. So this was a study in low light with the 50 mm, and I discovered I really like to photograph hands.

[Anne ❀]

awesome theme shot, nice perspective, priceless to be able to hear him play every night.

[Ulpi]

Beautiful image! Great for the theme:)

[robinwarner]

i love how you took this shot from the top down and the smilie face is such a plus...i hope that he is feeling better..xoxoxoxo

[Susan T]

Wonderful shot, Laurie. I love the depth of field and the Chili Peppers are a favorite in our house. Wish one of us knew the guitar!

[Laurie Higgins]

@robinwarner He's still pretty sick and I've decided he shouldn't go on his ski trip tomorrow. He didn't even argue (not that he ever does), but still.

[Kalexa]

Great one for the theme! Love the sound of acoustic guitar.

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

great pov

[Melissa Pike]

@lauriehiggins Awww, I'm glad to see I could help inspire you to discover something new! Good for you for giving it a go, and congrats on a job well done!

[Laura]

Love to pov and the colors of his bracelets and the smiley are great!

[lorihiro]

That RHCP song is so LA! Your son has great taste in music and moms! :-)
I love the light in this shot!

[bkb in the city]

Very nice perspective

[Tamalita May]

this is wonderful. love it.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

This is a fun POV, nice job.

[Paul Myers]

Very interesting perspective. I like the glow you have with the lighting.

[Kathy A]

Lovely shot Laurie, love the perspective and the smiley face.

[Mike Warren]

Very nice composition. Well done.

[Trina P Holub]

Very nice composition! I hope that he feels better soon! It's too warm to ski this weekend anyway, right? ;-)

[Beverly Carmichael]

He's a sweet kid! I love it that he has this interest.

[FaerieMoon]

How cool to be able to listen to that! I really like this photo too, perfect lighting and composition. Every day when my girls come home from school, I listen to them go cuckoo in the other room while doing their homework, lol. I guess 6 hours of being quiet and good takes it's toll...

[Karen Sylvia]

Awesome perspective and focus!

[Laura Thornton]

Nice perspective, lighting and he has beautiful hands.

[Jennifer C]

cool image, hope Tommy is feeling better and is able to enjoy playing his guitar! x

[Juliette Packham]

great shot - so great he plays when he wants, beats being nagged into practising!!

[paula goff]

i like the pov you used for this! i think it's kind of hard to take a photo of someone playing.........well, I had trouble anyway:)
my husband plays his guitar almost every evening. his way to relax.

[Christie Hicks]

The smiley face sticker is great. Love the perspective on this.

[stephanie dp]

wait. what? a boy that doesn't argue????? dang. please send him out here as soon as he's feeling better. What a great pov on this shot, Laurie. I really had to study it to get the perspective. How is he doing?

[Buffy]

wow, this is wonderful. Very artistically renderend.

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

I really like the perspective on this one.
