...the eye, and the camera - when the shutter is intentionally slow.
Thanks to the generous loan of a hand and violin by Endre (Strad), I was able to take a stab at the WA, in spite of spending the entire time in conditions not very conducive to tackling a photo assignment, particularly the topic of speed.
Now, fighting jet lag and exhaustion, I will hope that I have some semblance of judgment left, and post this entry. The greatest speed involved was preparing the entry, unless you want to count a cross-continental flight in 4 hours 17 minutes. Must try to return to life, work, and metabolism. Wish I had a tailwind!
Bravo, Jess!!! This (as you know) was my original idea but you shot it far better than I would have anyhow. I probably wouldn't have been able to get both hands working right. The Strad looks great, too! you'll have to send me a copy of this. I'll betcha this makes it to the finals.
All the best,
Endre
PS - Don't forget Antal's role in holding up the black velvet background.
