Day 9 (cont)...

Day 9 - Last day for me at the 'Fest. Back on the North Side, so lots of people. Highlights today were seeing an old friend's band (he was a 14 year old drummer in a band I played in - my last, his first), hanging with some old friends and seeing Saurus, a European puppet troop that walks...

Day 8 (cont)... Here's Puddles!!

Day 8 - Been busy and finally got around to doing these yesterday, but no time to post. Great evening at the South Side, which is where the old Bethlehem Steel works and new Artsquest facility is. Site was packed because of a trio of big shows, including Alan Jackson at the main stage...

Playing with painterly effects this morning. I was speaking to another artist at the gallery where I have work hanging and she was telling me about a project she has to do a pop art interpretation of a portrait. The interesting thing is that she cannot paint from site, but she needs to first...

Day 6 - Every year I stumble onto an artist that I've never heard of before that just blows me away, and last night I found that guy. If you love good, pure roots rock and roll and haven't heard of Kevin Gordon, he's worth looking into. More shots as I have some time. We're off tonight as I...

Steampunk Selfie It started out like this, but then I went fell down a blend mode wormhole...

Bathroom Selfie - just like all the hipster kids when they go out

Day 4... Monday saw a lot less people and a lot more music. Charlie Sheen and his Handler? The Badlees The Brosky / Meyer Band w/ Full Force Horns

I've been using the D7100 almost exclusively this week at Musikfest and I've experienced some wild deviations in getting focus lock on a second consecutive shot. I've been shooting outdoors and in bright light with a 24-120mm f/4, so the conditions shouldn't be an issue. I have it set to back...

Day 3 (cont.)... These two were taken as this girl was waiting for a friend to use the Porta-Johns, and I was waiting for my wife to use the Member's Restrooms. I couldn't help but react to the way she was standing, especially given what's just out of frame to her right.

Day 3 - North Side Rain was threatening most of the day, and there was only one local act we wanted to see (photos of them later), but there was plenty of people watching to be done.

Day 2 (cont.)... In this first photo you can see the old Bethlehem Steel Stacks that dominate the South Side venue where the Artsquest facility and main stages are. Same amount of music, with more well known acts, but the people watching isn't nearly as good.

Day 2 - North Side There are 2 distinct areas where 'Fest occurs. The North Side is in downtown Bethlehem proper, and has been hosting the festival for over 30 years. There are 5 separate and free stages, plus activities for the kids, street performers... basically a 10 day carnival.

Not sure who "Jack" is, but the railroad apparently has it in for him.

#2, but it could use some sharpening on her only, and then possibly some vignetting centered on her face to separate her from the background a little better...

With Bethlehem Musikfest this week we only ran in and out today to get some veggies. I shot these in about 10 minutes. Only tossed about 4 shots, so selection was very liberal today.

It's that time of year again - Bethlehem Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA. 10 days with a great mix of people watching, music, food, arts and crafts ... all free (except for one large stage with big nat'l acts). Day 1 - Wet an a bit dreary, so not a lot of photos outside after the rains came...

Local shots from last night and this morning...

We're definitely not in a drought, but we really haven't gotten a lot of rain of late, and these falls run off feeder streams and are pretty reactive to rainfall. I'm with Marcel regarding the color tinting. A levels adjustment using the whites selector in one of the hot spots in the falls is...
