This is the lead guitarist from the blue grass bank Six Pack. We saw them perform at the Thirsty Nickel in Austin, Texas last weekend. They were a terrific high-energy band!
Title: "Six Pack Lead Guitarist"
Camera / Lens: Canon 40D / Canon 50mm f/1.4 prime
Post-processing: Photoshop CS3 > Mainly a Dragonizer action I downloaded from the Internet. The Dragonizer action steps you through the process of making the photo darker and giving it a gritty effect.

I like so much about this shot --- how you caught the guitarist's hands, his open mouth singing, that there are several diagonal lines in the image (the microphone stand, the arm of the guitar, the V of his shirt, his arm) the black of his hat and shirt, and even the background behind him is interesting. The vignetting is too dark and too wide for me, but I guess you were simplifying it or covering up some of the audience. A really nice shot Barry.

Hi Cindi!
I'm glad you like this photo! The vignetting is the result of running the Dragonizer Action I downloaded from the Internet. It gives you the black bruch and instructs you to paint in black around the edges. Probably it is not supposed to look so much like a vignette as a black background. I probably didn't take the painting far enough. If I feel energetic I may try and work on it a little more and post a revised version.
Thanks again for your comments!
Cheers!
Barry
