The lighting was tough!

A portrait from the Django Music Festival San Francisco. This was my first time photographing as a member of the "Press." The lighting was tricky so I ended up having to do a lot of post processing.

NIKON D70 --- 70mm f/2.8 1/500s ISO 200

There are 6 pages of galleries plus links on my website should you like to learn more about this fascinating music.

Just go to the link below and you'll be there. The last 3 pages I just added so if you've viewed this gallery before look at the last 3 pages.

Virginia,

I couldn't help but smile at the image! Looks like he wants to eat the instrument.

I can see why the lighting was a challenge.

By the way, very nice website!

Love the photo.

And thanks for sending me off on an exploration of this musical style. I had heard of Reinhardt before, but wasn't aware that the style lived on today.

I love that period of European (and American) history, despite all of the difficult times.

Tricky lighting at concerts is always a challenge. Looks like you were up to it and have captured some nice images.
