Kevin was performing in Woking this evening with Friary Guildford Brass Band so I went along to be the band’s official photographer for the night. I took lots of shots of the band in action but this one caught my eye as being a bit different. The quality isn’t fantastic as I was shooting at ISO64 but I do like the dramatic quality, with the band lit and Chris, the conductor, almost a silhouette.

What awesome lighting and mood Helen. Bravo. Love the conductor's pose! danrav · 2012-07-07: 20:19

It's effectively the conductor who attracted me when I looked at your photo: one almost silhouette : great contrast ! josy63 · 2012-07-08: 00:42

Perfect picture, Helen! Eiram · 2012-07-08: 06:20

Great shot... we have a brass concert to attend on Wednesday, sadly they are performing in a dingy old school hall, so I very much doubt if I will have such good shots to show on photoblog... Annbramwell · 2012-07-08: 06:54

I love the contrast of black and white in this shot, Helen. And it made me think of this wonderful youtube presentation of Beethoven's 9th, "Song of Joy". I think you'll love it! djnana · 2012-07-08: 15:37

Wonderful shot..the silouette makes the picture!! LAZYWASP · 2012-07-08: 16:22
