For the Macro Mondays Theme: Musical Instruments (Members Choice)
I like to listen to music, I like dancing on music, but unfortunately I can not make music because I do not play a musical instrument. Fortunately, there are enough people in the world who are born with the gift to make music so I can enjoy music by listening to it.
Thank you very much for your time, faves and comments. Happy Macro Mondays!
Macro Mondays 'musical instruments' theme. One of the group's 'member's choice' themes.
This is a miniature harmonica that I bought at a Manfred's concert several years ago. It's made by Hohner and can be played. It measures 3.5 cm in width.
I'll be back later today to view and comment.
New toys arrived today: a pair of SB-700 speedlights, flash stands, and a few other lighting-related accessories, and I couldn't resist playing with them this evening. Of course, I had to pick this Hohner “Blues Harp” harmonica, a subject that was one big reflective surface, but why make it easy on myself? Besides, it’s Monday, and until I run out of instruments around the house, I shoot musical instruments if I don’t get a shot during the day on Mondays.
Really just played around, trying to get a feel for how the flashes behaved, experimenting with multiple flash groups, augmenting the flash with a softbox, and so on. Was nice to be able to experiment a bit for a change indoors while handheld; none of my previous lighting arrangements really let me do that. Time to really learn how to use these things correctly, though.
This is one of the experiments. The harmonica is on a wool scarf (thus the highlights that look like hairs–because they are).
My best recollection of the setup is: Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 18-200mm @ 112mm w/18mm macro tube, 1/60s @ ƒ/22, ISO100. One SB-700 behind and above subject, in Group A at -1.0ev, Another SB-700 to camera right in front of subject in Group B at -0.3ev. Tweaked the colors a bit in Aperture, along with some slight cropping and burning the area of the scarf just a bit.
Not too shabby for just horsing around, I guess. Does look better in the lightbox, so hit ‘L’ if you’re so inclined.
I want to go back to the way things were. I miss walking around Harmonica Alley in Kichijoji, and all the little bars and restaurants. This atmosphere was just so much fun to be in.

While visiting Bratislava Slovakia in October for work I was able to do a little street photography. I wish I had stuck around this guy a little longer to get some eye contact and a sharper image. (little blurry) I played with this quite a but to get the look I wanted.
Este instrumento chamo-o de 'Harmonica Bends GBB2 - Gaita do Básico ao Blues', que ganhei ao iniciar meus estudos da Gaita Diatônica, no Curso do Professor e Músico Brasileiro Val Tomato, em 08/06/2017. Trata-se de uma Gaita montada à mão, por ele e seu sócio Danilo, com peças da antiga Fábrica Brasileira de Gaitas, a Bends, que encerrou suas atividades em 2011. Portanto é um instrumento raro, único, de uma sonoridade magnífica, e que jamais será fabricado igual, em lugar nenhum do Planeta.
I ran across this guy on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, (in case there is another) quite the character and a very nice man.

A 'Fun for Friday' shot here, following on from my previous Invisible Piano image, I just loved that this could so perfectly be a missing harmonica with the shape of her hands - which were obviously just shielding her eyes just a moment before. Taken at very close range with a 17mm focal length!
Wishing you all a wonderful and creative weekend!
This was was a real virtuoso with an interesting repertoire and real musicianship. I had never seen such a player before ( apparently they are regular street muscians across Europe ) and was quite fascinated. During subsequent visits to Venice I saw a younger man also performing beautifully.
Once I was looking for a bench,
the same of a Woody Allen’s movie, but I found a lonely man
playing a blues with his harmonica (See more: www.alessiotrerotoli.it or www.facebook.com/AlessioTrerotoliPhotographer)
