Challenge: Music (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Olympus E-10
Location: Tracy, CA
Date: Oct 29, 2004
Aperture: f:11
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/2 Second
Galleries: Emotive, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Oct 29, 2004

 Taken with one 5600K flourescent light, with camera on tripod. PS work included using channel mixer to convert to B/W, Levels, Contrast adjustments, cropping, unsharpen mask, and cropping. It was quite a challenge to make this shot without any dust or smudges, so some cloning was necessary.

During his lifetime Ray Charles had a major influence on many different styles of music, and he immediately came to my mind when this challenge came up.

What a nice tribute to a great musician. My only wish were that the music was a bit more in focus, but great nonetheless.

Very nice composition and concept. I would have liked not quite as centered of an arrangement and a tad bit sharper focus.
