It was all about playing the harmonica tonight. After a whole day of playing with a friend, Kiddo tried learning to play harmonica through a DVD. Talk about over-stimulated. He just about imploded. It was all I could do to get him into a hot bath. Once he put his goggles on, he forgot all about the harmonica.....until he crawled into bed.
sheesh.
Pontotoc, Mississippi bluesman Terry "Harmonica" Bean | 2024 Juke Joint Festival - Clarksdale, Mississippi (4/13/2024)
There was a time when I was quite the social butterfly. The general rule was that if you invited me to something, chances are my camera would be out and the whole thing would be documented. This was one of those gatherings. I was invited to my friend Heather's house and arrived with camera in hand This was one of the other guests who played the harmonica like nobodies business!
This image was taken in JPG using only the settings of my camera, there was no post-processing.

The assignment: Create a fully conceived design for an album. like any cd or lp cover, it must be: a square, have the name of the artist, and the name of the album. do a search on "bad album cover" and you'll find loads of examples of themes to avoid. Still, maybe you could create something so bad it became sublime...
**Oh, and this is COMPLETE fantasy! I don't play the harmonica, I've never won any grammys, I'm fine stuck in Suburbia, I'd rather have my hubby than a margarita...oh, but I AM a honey! :)
Re-edit. Added localised contrast to engraving on the top.
I finally managed to get to the second assignment in my photography course this week. It called to photograph an every day object, after studying it in detail. I liked the detail on the top of the harmonica and really wanted to showcase it.
The feedback from the marked assignment was to use a slightly larger DOF - which in hindsight would have been good as it would have helped me to highlight the engraving a little better! I have also applied a little bit of dodging to lighten up the background as it was somewhat dark.
Strobist: SB-900 at lens height to left of camera. Bounced off ceiling through diffuser dome. Triggered using NIkon CLS, TTL mode with +1.0 EV.

This guy has been playing harmonica since 1964. He was too busy jamming to talk much at the time, but gave me a thumbs up to take his photo when I asked. Pick up his dvd if you see him on the streets!
