One thing I love to do is check out what people are posting in Flickr under the tags: saxophone<\/em> and sax<\/em>. More often than not the photos are crap, or don’t contain saxophones at all. Every once in a while however, I happen across an incredible image, like today’s by Neil Moralee titled, The mechanics of the music<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The mechanics of the music.<\/h2>\n

Music Shop window shot, Cockermouth Cumbria, UK.<\/h3>\n

Photography by: Neil Moralee<\/a>  Source: Flickr<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Besides being a fantastic photo, what fascinated me about this shot was that it was taken through a store window. I am wondering how this was possible.<\/p>\n

What’s even more intriguing to me is that this shot was taken with the same model camera that I use for my light box photography: a Panasonic Lumix LX-7. Obviously Moralee used a tripod, but I’m wondering what he did with his processing either in-camera, or with his Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software, to produce such an amazing image. (I’ve optimized it slightly for my website, so check it out on Flickr<\/a> to see the true image.)<\/p>\n

Sure my saxophone shots<\/a> are nice enough, but my artsy sax shots<\/a> are nothing like what Moralee shoots.<\/p>\n

Neil Moralee’s, The mechanics of the music<\/em>, reminds me of the kind of photos I’ve seen taken by my former keyboard player, multi-award winning photographer Jason Brown<\/a>. Jason’s photos are some of the most brilliant photographs that I have ever seen. He can make a shot of gum stuck to the sidewalk look fantastically artistic\u2014and that’s no hyperbole.<\/p>\n

I know I will never have the photographic genius of Jason, but I would gladly settle for being able to take photos that are truly tack sharp<\/a>. Maybe one day I’ll get there. It’s clearly still a work in progress.  \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
