My friend from Pennsylvania and I have another concert planned next month. Last year's two piano concert was a big success, and a lot of fun. Needless to say, I've been practicing more these days.

I was a bit surprised when I looked at the exif data. I don't remember shooting this at 1/15 sec - I guess I have a steady hand! I really should have been shooting at ISO 400 or 800, but I still got lucky and came out with a nice, sharp, smooth image.

I am so much a fan of black and white photography. Soft light and nice tone. Great Image!

And the DoF was a nice choice too. I really like hwo the keys start out of focus, come in, then go out again.

Fantastic bw. I can't think of a better subject for a black and white photo. Both the blacks and the whites are so pure, and I love the depth of field. Very nicely done.
