"The Madame comes to the Atelier bearing a gift with strings attached."
Gaaaah~! I've been dying to use that SD violin ever since HKDP9, but couldn't—at least, not until it was properly introduced. Hurray for finally making this photostory! ♥
Remember how it was the Madame who enrolled little Frei to violin classes, and how she bought him a violin. Then remember how Ave sent Frei to the Atelier, and then stole the violin from House Zia. Now, the Madame once again bought a violin for Frei, challenging Ave to try and pull the same stunt seven years ago.

Photo Gear Nerds: I thought I would point out, if you look at the EXIF you will see this photo was taken at 200mm with 1/100th @ f/1.8 with ISO800. It was a pretty dark room but the Canon 5D, and 200mm f/1.8L lens made shots possible that most any other lens couldn't have grabbed.
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

The lens caught this bon-fire throwing fire strings up. I have never seen this before in a fire I wonder if it is normal thing when river elm burns?
April 29, 2022 - Delft Blue Violin c. 1705-1710 in Gallery 2.22.
"Introduction
A Delft Blue violin? Surely you've never seen anything like it? Look at how beautifully and carefully it was crafted: the decorated neck, the taut strings. The tuning pegs (the knobs at the top), bridge and tailpiece are made of ivory. Look at the grinning jester’s head! And the paintings on the front and back! Violin music was popular in every layer of society in the 17th and 18th centuries. Travelling musicians played cheerful songs in dance halls and inns and at festive events such as fairs to enthusiastic dancing and singing. The back is illustrated with that type of scene. The well-to-do preferred to dance in their spacious houses and gardens to the sounds of chamber music ensembles. The front gives you a good idea of that type of elite party and the elegance of the dancing. This violin was not designed to be played. It is a masterpiece from the Golden Age of Delftware, a rare and expensive collector's item.

The legend of the Delftware violins
There are only five 18th-century Delft Blue violins in the world. It is unknown which pottery factory in Delft produced them. But a legend does exist. Four daughters of a renowned Delftware potter in Delft married four painters from his workshop. During the wedding party, the four grooms opened the dance, playing Delftware violins that they had painted themselves. Do you believe this marvellous story? And might this be one of the four violins?

Violinist Janine Jansen on the playability and influence of folk music
Beautiful instrument, beautiful work of art. I suspect it doesn't produce any sound though as it won't resonate; there are strings, but you wouldn't get that lovely violin sound. On the front is a string ensemble, on the balcony, and couples dancing underneath. On the other side are figures outside a tavern and there's music, dancing and singing. Many Baroque composers were influenced by the folk music of that period. Corelli, for instance, and of course Bach, who composed six beautiful solo works for violin based on dances like the Courante, Sarabande, Gigue and Allemande. And also composers of the early 1900s, like Kodály, who travelled with Bartók to document Hungarian folk music and later drew on it in his own compositions. The violin is such a flexible instrument. You can even dance while playing it! I personally move around quite a lot. I would love to get my hands on this violin to hear what it sounds like. Play a little Bach! Like this Gigue, which is one my favourites.

Pianos make for great subjects. Tonight: more fun with different types of processing.
Dailyshoot: Look for angles today: 90s, 45s, or any other combination of angles that make an interesting composition.
For the Festival of Strings I thought I would whip up a quick table runner following Rachel's tutorial, but I made a few changes to the block size. These blocks are narrower,which worked better for me. Now waiting to be quilted, but my backing and binding are all done.
The Diwali festival in India is known for colourful lights and for loud and noisy crackers. This Diwali is no exception. Two guys here ran up and laid down a roll of crackers that looked like a firehose when they were carrying it.
The hammered dulcimer is a percussion instrument and stringed instrument with the strings stretched over a trapezoidal sounding board. Typically, the hammered dulcimer is set on a stand, at an angle, before the musician, who holds small mallet hammers in each hand to strike the strings (cf. Appalachian dulcimer). The Graeco-Roman dulcimer (sweet song) derives from the Latin dulcis (sweet) and the Greek melos (song). The dulcimer, in which the strings are beaten with small hammers, originated from the psaltery, in which the strings are plucked.[1] Various types of hammered dulcimers are traditionally played in Iraq, India, Iran, Southwest Asia, China, and parts of Southeast Asia, Central Europe (Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland (particularly Appenzell), Austria and Bavaria), the Balkans, Eastern Europe (Ukraine and Belarus) and Scandinavia. The instrument is also played in the United Kingdom (Wales, East Anglia, Northumbria) and the U.S., where its traditional use in folk music saw a notable revival in the late 20th century.[2]

Meggan practicing her guitar this afternoon. My dad says he wants a picture like this with HIS guitar next.
This one made me lie flat on the ground of the grass to get it, but it was well worth it I believe. In my rush, I had set the f/stop too high and had, for a moment, forgotten the DoF of this lens - if I had to do it again, I'd have reduced it so that more of the strings would have been in focus.
Diamante is a coastal town and comune in the province of Cosenza, part of the Calabria region of southern Italy.The Diamante citron takes its name from the town, and Calabria is still the home of this variety of citron.Each year in August Diamante hosts a festival celebrating the local produce, peperoncino (chili pepper). These are prepared as dried strings, infused into olive oil and made in to a paste known as Calabrese Bomba.
Diamante, è un comune italiano di 5.096 abitanti della provincia di Cosenza, in Calabria. È sito sulla costa tirrenica nord occidentale della Calabria.La posizione geografica, i suoi circa otto km. di spiaggia dalle variegate combinazioni di sabbia e di colore, nonché il mare cristallino ed i fondali sempre diversi ne fanno una delle mete turistiche della Calabria.Diamante possiede una delle due uniche isole della Calabria, l'isola di Cirella, un piccolo isolotto dalla forma suggestiva e dalla flora selvaggia dove i fondali sono splendidi e regna la Posidonia argentata.Fonti storiografiche diverse documentano insediamenti già dai tempi dei Focesi e dei Romani. Le prime notizie sulla nascita di un vero e proprio nucleo abitato nei luoghi di Diamante risalgono al 1500, allorquando il Principe Sanseverino ordinò la costruzione di una postazione difensiva per contrastare le incursioni saracene.Intorno al torrione dei Sanseverino sorse più tardi una fortificazione del territorio ad opera del principe di Bisignano Tiberio Carafa, padrone dei territori di Belvedere Marittimo e di Diamante già dal 1622. Al termine delle scorribande turche, la popolazione dalle campagne si spostò verso il mare incrementando i traffici commerciali. Successivamente benestanti e commercianti napoletani, amalfitani e salernitani, e nobili famiglie, anche di origine spagnola vi si stabilirono per la posizione e l’amenità del luogo dando vita al centro abitato. Presto Diamante divenne un discreto centro per la pesca e l’agricoltura, grazie alla nutrita flotta e alla produzione del cedro. Le caratteristiche particolari di questo agrume nella sua varietà autoctona denominata cedro liscio di Diamante (di grosso taglio e profumata, destinata in gran parte alla canditura), lo resero unico e conosciutissimo sul mercato mondiale; grazie alla sua massiccia esportazione verso Israele e gli Stati Uniti, dove era usato dalle comunità ebraiche che in occasione della festa dello Sukkot inviavano i propri Rabbini a selezionarlo, il cedro divenne una voce economica consistente del bilancio della comunità.Diamante è conosciuta anche come la città dei murales, dai numerosi dipinti che si possono ammirare passeggiando per i vicoli della cittadina.Sono infatti oltre 150 le opere d'arte dipinte sui muri del centro storico e della frazione Cirella, realizzate a partire dal 1981 da pittori ed artisti di fama internazionale. Matilde Serao e Gabriele d'Annunzio, sono tra i tanti letterati che hanno rivolto la loro attenzione a quella che hanno definito la perla del tirreno.Poeti, scrittori, giornalisti, storici e rivoluzionari hanno lasciato la loro firma o un loro verso sui muri della città. Diamante è il museo all'aperto più grande d'Italia e tra i più grandi del mondo.
