About ten days ago in the warmer climes of Correleco, Fuerteventura. We were eating Al Fresco in one the restaraunts in the old square and at this time of year most of our fellow diners were in our age group between 55 and 65. Luckily so was the singer/guitarist who entertained us with Dylan, Dire Straits, Springsteen and others of that ilk. During his short break he played a Neil Diamond CD - clearly a man of discerning tastes. The evening was warm, the drinks cold, the food tasty and the music was best of all.
The light levels were low so I'd taken just 2 wide aperture primes with me - one fitted to the D300 and as Mick wasn't there I secreted the other in my wife's handbag.

The quality of the available light brings out the detailing from both the musician and the from the musician instruments and the other accoutrements of his trade.


One never thought back in the day that one day we would be old too and all the music would just be a curious footnote in the ever evolving history of music but that's us the listener... what about the musician that has spent a life time playing... not all are Bob Dylans and Neil Youngs... they just keep on keeping on doing the one thing they know for sure; namely, playing music wherever they can and to whoever will listen.

Well suited to B&W Vic, a nice tight crop and excellent tones. ACDC have just commenced a season down in Oz, I am not a fan but there ages match your group Smile
