Marcel's Daily pics 2013

The best acoustics I have ever seen are at the Frank Moody Music Building at the University Of Alabama. They have a Holtkamp organ, standing three stories high with four manuals, 65 stops, and more than 5,000 pipes. I recorded a few songs from a Alabama Choir School concert a while back with my D3100 and I was sitting at the back wall balcony of the 1,000 seat room and I was floored at how good that little camera did but then realized that the room was designed to sound good no matter where you were in the room.

These are the High school kids.

Maybe I like the first one I took better except for the lady's expression.

I like this one better because it was shot at more of an angle and not so staight down the piano.

I like the flower and happy face tag on the VW Bus. What color is the the bus? Also what is the design on the top front of the building?

Here's a color version of a different crop. I thought this scene was made for B&W. Was I wrong?

This shot is MADE for color. The funky green building and the orange bus and the yellow happy face just screams flower child and the new VW Bug says they have grown up but not changed completely. I like the full building too, just Photoshop the tractor out.

I think I like it better in color... Both are good but...

My vote is for the color version!

I like the color version. I saw the VW Bus and got a flash in my mind "Flower Power".

A red and white VW bus is what I learned how to drive on.

I like the color version better. The contrast between the weathered green building front and the bright orange VW microbus gives it a very vintage feel.

I like the color version, the orange and green just pop for me. Wait...I think I'm having a FLASHBACK!!!!!!

Different crop and feel for the first piano person of the day:

I like the crop in the 2nd but prefer the smile in the 1st.. She looks more bored in the 2nd, so bubbly in the 1st.

I agree 100% . The smile in the first one is contagious.

A very beautiful lady with a heartwarming smile

I took a bit of time to go for a walk this morning and got these two plus others that I don't have time to process today.

Marcel, I really love the old truck... You did it well!!

Very good with the piano persons, nice soft blur on the piano but no so much, that you dont get the whole story. Well done
