Day Forty Six - Barrios


Please click over to flickr to view this photo large.

This photo has a very studio feel to it, which I was kinda going for. The piano bouncing bokeh in the background, the blue light, the harsh outlines. Yes. I like this. And it's not too often I can say that about one of my own photos.

This wasn't really intended to be a photoshoot as such. Max was in my room playing Barrios' La Catedral on my guitar and trying to learn the second movement. I wanted to go do something but decided to set up a couple of flashes and take some shots of him playing.

Nikon D200
50mm f1.8 at f2
Vivitar 285 HV at 1/4 above left fired through a jb-hifi docket to diffuse (yeah i really need those umbrellas!)
Vivitar 285 at 1/16 under the desk with blue gel pointed at max.

On that note, I'm about half way through learning the first movement of Barrios' La Catedral on guitar and it's quite exciting. I endeavour to learn the entire piece within a month. If you don't know what I'm talking about click here. Barrios is beautiful.
