At last week’s River Concert at St. Mary’s College of Maryland on July 9th, we got an excellent view of the singing. Jim and I sat in the second row to watch. Sometimes I even crawl in front of the first row to get a better angle of the soloist’s hands or instrument. (As long as I am not blocking some else’s view!) Pictures of music stands and people’s heads don’t really add to the photo! As the evening sky gets darker, I have to remember to keep resetting the ISO rating higher (speed) which adds a grainy look to the pictures. I enjoy trying to catch orchestra members laughing at a small joke or eyeing the soloist with appreciation. I often like to get photos of the crowd as well, especially children enthralled with the music and people having fun. At this particular concert, I enjoyed seeing Olivia and Larry Vote perform, since they were involved with my church choir a few years ago. It was a wonderful concert, leaving me humming the tunes for the rest of the evening.
