This is one of a series of photographs taken by Cecil Sharp (or his photographer) on the occasion of Sharp's visit to Winster on 4 July 1908.
Sharp's visit has been well documented elsewhere (not on this site) and some of these photographs have been published as modern postcards. Examples of these cards are included in this Winster Morris Dancers Set.
The Musician was probably Henry Hardy (1858 - 1916) who was about 50 at this time. He lived at Bankside, Wood Lane and at the 1901 Census he was at Crown Yard with his family. Henry was a lead miner.
In 1879 Henry married Mary Ann Boam. They had 4 children.

"Clean shirt, new shoes,
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can,
Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man" :-)

I walked into my kitchen to carve meat off a turkey and noticed there were no birds at my feeder. That either means there is a cat nearby or that a sharp-shinned hawk has frightened the birds away. Turns out after a short search I saw the hawk on the ground eating a bird. I had a 400mm lens on my camera. Since the bird was only 12 feet away I couldn't get the entire bird in the first few photos. I changed to a 70-200mm lens and took a few shots until the hawk flew to a planter about 18 feet from me. I took a few shots at 200mm and then changed back to the 400mm. What is remarkable is that I have never been able to snap more than 2 or 3 photos in the past, but this sharp-shinned allowed me to take many photos and even gave me time to change lenses twice. It looked right at me many times but did not fly.
This is one of the first photos I took with the 400mm lens. The hawk was about 12 feet from me. IMG_0997

I knew about sharp-edge diffraction, but I hadn't seen any good visual examples of it until I took this picture. At the time, I simply liked the way that the leaves were silhouetted. I took the pictures with a fairly long telephoto, and when I looked at them on the monitor at 1:1, I discovered the diffraction effect around the leaves (notice that there's little to no diffraction around the branches).
I did a little cropping and color balancing, but no real post-processing tricks; the leaves really did have the glowing outlines if you zoomed enough.
In the spring, sharp-tailed grouse form mating grounds, or leks, where they congregate to compete for territories and perform mating displays for visiting females. This crowded scene leads to fighting among the males as they attempt to outcompete one another and win the affections of the onlooking females.

Had a rare day off today - had to go to hospital to have my thyroid checked out.
Last June a lump appeared in my throat and I was told it had to be removed by surgery. It disappeared as mysteriously as it arrived and today the consultant told me I was 'cured' and didn't need an operation after all.
Naturally I was delighted and went on a photographic spree - I also had one or two celebratory drinks!
