Challenge: School Days: Music (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: school gym
Date: Feb 9, 2007
ISO: 800
Date Uploaded: Feb 9, 2007

This was shot in the school gym, so the lighting was a bit of a challenge. As was the fact that things like music stands, the conductor etc. were constantly in the way. I really wanted a shot of the kids' concert, though, as this epitomizes school music to me.
I converted to b&w to try and get rid of the wierd color tones caused by the gym lighting. I also had to NI it a bunch, since I shot at iso 800.

The little white triangle at the lower left is kind of distracting, and had this been mine, would have cloned it out.

I still really like this.


Yeah, it bugged me too, but it was basic, so what could I do. I cropped as much out without losing any of the flute.
Thanks for the comments!

Wow, look at that hair! I appreciate that her head is held straight and her flute is not bent down toward the ground. Her poise is good too. I love that you went out to the concert to catch this :) B&W is always a winner IMB and your border looks like a lovely frame here. I see a good score for you out of this one and I wish you luck :)

This school looks like it has way better lighting than where I last tried this -- B&W works well.
