I'm quite proud of this one.
The organist is totally unaware of me.
Ambient light with 10D and Sigma 135-400 HANDHELD!!!!!
ISO 1600 I think.
(No noise reduction)

Now R doesn't often get praise from me (especially in public....bad for the ego), but I REALLY like this one! Cool!!

I hate to see someone ignored so here goes...
I like a lot of what I see in this photo. The pose is natural - the second viewpoint provided by the mirror above the organist adds impact. The lighting is really nice and I like the inclusion of the sheet music.
My own opinion is that I would really like to see the hands of the organist on the keyboard. Intellectually I know that the organist is playing the organ, but my eye does not see the connection - he might also be just looking at the organ. I KNOW in my mind what is happening, but I feel like I am not seeing a piece of the puzzle. What would have been super sweet in a perfect world would be to connect the whole thing by showing his hands in the mirror..
I know you worked hard on this shot and are very proud of it, so please do not feel that I am dissing your work.

Hey man.
I totally agree about the hands. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the frame is a choir stall. :|
I couldnt, get to see his hands at all, :o and changing lenses would almost certainly not have helped. In fact, he'd have sussed me and turned round I expect. :o I guess he was seated about 6 higher than I was standing, (if you see what I mean).
I was cheesed off :o that no one, (until now ), had commented, as I was quite pleased with ISO 1600 and handheld 150mm.
Ho hum. :|
A Terrier's lot is not always a happy one. (Though it is most of the time! ).
Cheers Mr T.

I should have mentioned the ISO 1600 - exceptional noise control.

I agree regarding the hands.
What did you do to get rid of the noise?

Sorry there Mr Grumpy Pants. I just noticed the setting on this shot. Fantastic results. That 10D and Sigma 135-400mm is great. Your hand held capabilities are also very good.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

Well, I'm sorry for the burst of dependence............... It's quite unhealthy.
Anyhow, the noise issue....... Get this..... :| :| :|
I did nothing!!! This is how it came out of the box. :o
I was so suprised, that I returned to the orig, and triple checked the Exif :o
It's true. 1/60th, ISO 1600 150mm.
