Ben plays the Baritone Horn. It is like a small Euphonium. It is a battered old instrument that he has, but I think one day the bank of mum and dad will pick up a brand new shiny one for him, though he'd probably ask for a Les Paul instead!!
He is in Stage Band at school and Hathern Brass Band (Youth and Training sections), and studying for his grade 5 and his Music GCSE. While I type he is in the boys den twanging away on his guitar playing Nirvana's "come as you are".
Here is a shot I took of him playing earlier. I was trying to get a real high contrast metallic look to the shot.
We've had a quiet day thus far, but are heading off to see Leicester Tigers v Ulster in a crunch match this evening. Come on Tigers!!
Great detail here when you look past that lovely shine....you can see all the little grooves on the piston things....( I don't know the correct name! )
Good for Ben...learning an instrument can give such pleasure & benefits enormously on their concentration & school work.
This is a lovely sharp photo.
Super shot - love the processing. Brass Bands are marvellous - my grandson plays the trombone (courtesy of the bank of grandparents). There is a brass emporium in Totton - an absolutely terrific store, the size of a supermarket - well worth a visit. http://www.hayesmusic.co.uk/
Love this detail study. Great angle, shapes and processing.
Don't think Les Paul does Baritones ;-)
All the very best to Ben in his musical pursuits. Music is a wonderful form of communication.

Shame about the result, reads like a good game.
