old piano

Sorry for all the late postings.
Whilst having a coffee in a place called Dayborough there tucked away out in the weather left out to rot away. I couldn't help but think of the days when pianists would sit down and play songs Moonlight serenade, Fleur delise, Amazing grace. I could almost hear the piano crying out, now unable to have those days back and with only memories. The sadness of an old song came to my mind. "Those were the days my friends we thought they'd never end we'd sing and dance forever and a day.

@kartia almost traditional

It looks a little past it now!! Nice shot.

An interesting way to repurpose the piano.

Imagine using an old piano for yard art. It works well and is pleasant to see.

have you ever tried using our camera's HDR setting? pick a subject with high contrast and give it a go. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/370196.pdf#G16.1060715

@kali66 Thank you, I've just been reading through my manual and thought to myself I must try that. So you've given me the motivation. In saying that would you be interested in a different challenge and a bit more tougher than the one I first thought of?

@mirroroflife fire away ! I just didnt understand the bracketing part, but feel free to change it up

[Petespost]

Bracketing is using 3 or more photos with a different aperture to make 1. Would you like to do backlighting as the challenge. You may try the bracketing there if you wish

[kali]

@mirroroflife ok that makes sense, probably easier than an action photo lol
here is the page from my camera manual, so i get the camera to take 3 shots and just choose best??

@kali66
Spot
Exposure compensation ±3 (at 1/3 EV steps)
AE Bracketing (at 1/3 EV steps) from your manual.

Very cool shot - and yes - the line from the song fits this perfectly!
