Well, this isn't the same plant I found for my Light Study 1, but it was in the same vicinity. It was also pouring buckets on me so I didn't do much shooting. I also noticed the film grain problem with this camera's ISO, but I think I found a way around it, thanks to much fiddling and experimenting.
Anyway, on to the discussion of the whole 'light study' thing. In the first picture I used the flash, so in this one I didn't. I really really like the water drops and all the reflections in them, and how the leaf curls around into a thin line of a subject, which is why I felt it looked better centered. It kind of leads the eye (or at least my eye) upwards, which is paralleled in the lighting.

Was EXTREMELY excited to find myself staking my upfront spot in front of Duncun.
Much like I do every single time I see Sloan, I made damn sure a good portion of my time was spent studying Mr. Coutts' style of playing. In the end, I did learn a few things.
First and foremost for me, I learned that as much as I've always thought of him as an example of a fingerstyle-exclusive player, he does on occassion use a pick. (This is a BIG relevation for me as I generally stick to picks, mostly due to my small hands and generally inability to remain smooth throughout a song.)
I also learned that he likes to venture into the highest notes on the bass...a lot. Not that it's not a really bad thing. It's just that the higher you go, the less likely I'm actually able to physically reach the notes. (Again, small hands. It's a bitch, trust me.)
Needless to say, it's going to be a long time before I'm able to play like Duncan, but at least I finally got the opportunity to observe. :)
