Jigs and Reels: Shane Borth of Flannigan's Right Hook -- At O'Malley's

Very dynamic and energetic composition, well seen!

Wow, You shure caught this one real good all right. Superb shot my friend..

The expression of the face is very good. Good moment, well done. Congrats.

I agree with all of the above. Energetic this is! Great capture. Take care

Wonderful!. Excellent B&W tones and very sharp detail. And yes the expression is great as well.

Ditto Ditto Ditto!

 

Such clarity the veins are popping right out of his arms!

Thanks

Really love this one too! great job!

You really caught the joy of the moment! It's a pleasure! I've never seen a fiddle like the one in this shot. It's transparent?

This is very nice. Will you give him a printed copy?

Getting just the right moment was huge on this, but the tones you've achieved are quite special. I'm amazed at how you did this, as I assume there was no flash. Looks like you had a good thing going at O'Malley's.

As if he is born for this composition!!! Fantastic! They did find his fingers.

excellent capture of the decision moment. beautiful grey scale and composition. excellent. have a nice weekend.

A beautiful image that has been captured with expertise. I like the clarity, light, dynamic range, the subject, expression, background and choice of shutter speed which gives the sense of motion. My personal and artistic preference would have been to include all of the musician's left hand. It is possible that the missing hand gives the image a bit of tension but not sure that tension is required in this case. Regards,

I'm pleased that you like this shot.

 

It was done in very dim light by pushing the ISO pretty high.

 

To answer a few questions: The violin is not transparent, it's an amplified intsrument with a bowed half-frame around highly sensitive pickups. The body is "absent." I, too, miss the fingers on the neck. I didn't crop them out. This fiddler is a dynamic and animated performer, and he literally danced out of the frame as I shot it. It is a flaw, but I like his expression so much that I chose to go with this image despite the problem.

 

Many thanks for the generous comments.

Joe, a very dynamic picture with a great expression. Also refined tones I like very much.

Nice expression captured ... looks great in B/W with great tones and depth.

great expression and tones..congrats

you caught the mood with an excellent technique. G.

Perfect light and tones again as if you were in a studio. Stunning expression as a great street photo.Wonderful Joe, Wonderful.

I like this one best, Joe. I'd be tempted to up the contrast a tad, though.

A very good timing Joe. His expression is wonderful, looks as he enjoys his music ;-))Well executed, good light and shadow play.

You have captured a single moment!! Regards.

Outstanding piece of the portrait, Joseph P.!!! Best regards
