micah_henry Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well, folks, This is a bit slow in coming, but I'm finally getting around to uploading some classic cameras images I shot at the end of April. These were taken with my Argus C-44 and its 100mm telephoto lens. B&W pictures were from Kodak 400BW and color were from Kodak High Definition 400 films. These are of the Del McCoury Band, a bluegrass group (my favorite) who appeared at the 2005 Merle Watson Memorial Festival. That's an American/folk music festival who the local community college hosts here in Wilkes County, NC. This year they even had Loretta Lynn and Allison Krauss in addition to legendary guitarist/folksinger Doc Watson, who hosts the event. Thanks for looking! --Micah in NC<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micah_henry Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 And the last. NOTE: scanning was by Wal-Mart photo center CD I got back with my 4x6" prints. Minimal sharpening in Photoshop 7.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_f._stein Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Lucky, you. Great event. But can they play the Orange Blossom Special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_wilson4 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Those are wonderful pictures. I loved the composition of them. Performers are great subjects. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micah_henry Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 David: Thanks, it was a very fun event. And I'm sure Del and the boys play "Orange Blossom Special" but not that day. Earl Scruggs was also at MerleFest--that's his song, I believe. I think he performed it quite well one day that weekend. Mark Wilson: Thanks for the compliments. Nice image--I like the detail from that Retina. I was lucky enough to be a volunteer photographer and had Photo Platform access. This was one of the acts I wasn't scheduled to shoot, so I used the Argus instead of my much newer Pentax SLR. --Micah in NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_m Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The colour shots are a million times better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHildreth Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Great shots from the Argus, Micah! The Merlefest must be a really great event-it sure sounds and looks that way on the DVDs I have. One question, how do you maintain such good focus with one foot involuntarily tapping to the tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenelsonfoto Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Damn, you got to see Loretty and Alison in the same show? Green with envy, Micah. Good images too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_wilson4 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I like the Del and Rob B&W shot where the composition is that of a cross defined by the instruments. Excellent photograph, in my opinion. (humble though it must be!) Personally, I like Armenian post-industrial shock metal, but the world would be boring if we all liked the same music. M. P.S. Where I grew up in southern New Brunswick, they like both types of music: Country AND Western. P.P.S. And they like Kodak Instamatics P.P.P.S. And Moosehead Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
