The Drums.

by pauljay

Shari's music school had an open day today and she, along with a friend, sang for the gathered throng accompanying themselves on guitar. This allowed me to wander around and take a few shots with the ISO elevated to 6400. This one was converted to B&W and lots of contrast applied.

Strong composition Paul and an excellent result for ISO6400. I like the heavy contrasts in this image.

It was sharpened prior to uploading Jeff and looks just fine here on my Mac screen. However, I find that I always lose a degree of sharpness during the upload process, or are you saying that more of the shot should be in focus? 9.5 should have covered it.

Paul I have a good look and f9.5 does cover this no problem I think its fine, Jeff very sorry but back to spec savers for you
Anyway back to the photo I like the way you have looked at this, and it is an excellent result for ISO6400 well done

Thanks Shaun. Gábor has given me a tip on improving sharpness during upload so I'll try that next time.

It looks sharp enough to me Paul and I do like the high contrast very much
