My most open shot of this beauty. Think I had to manually focus.

"The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice."

~ Andrés Segovia Torres

 

I absolutely agree with the quotation of that virtuoso and famous Spanish classical guitarist :

I first learned to play the violin as a teenager - much later as an adult I finally got myself a classical guitar ... and love the possibility of polyphony with the fingerstyle.

"Die Gitarre ist ein kleines Orchester. Sie ist mehrstimmig. Jede Saite hat eine andere Farbe, eine andere Stimme."

~ Andrés Segovia Torres

 

Da stimme ich absolut zu:

Ich habe als Jugendliche zuerst gelernt, Geige zu spielen - viel später dann als schon Erwachsene habe ich mir schliesslich ein Konzertgitarre zugelegt.

And der Gitarre liebe ich die Möglichkeit der Mehrstimmigkeit, insbesondere mit dem Fingersyle (Fingerpicking).

Manual focus as close as I could get, which is quite close, indeed. Fun to do. About one inch/2.54 cm from that largest drop.

The last couple years the neighborhood fireworks have been pretty spectacular for an amateur backyard show. I decided to capture them this year and was very pleased with my camera. I used the bulb setting and manual focusing. I used different exposure times on all three of these.

 

I hope you enjoy some of the show!
