Jeff's debut

Jeff had his first performance with the Huntsville Master Chorale today. I used the performance as an opportunity to test out my new camera. I made some mistakes, but I also got some very good photos.

I borked the white balance prior to the show, so everything after the rehearsal had to be photochopped because the color was blown out. The blue channel was very serviceable, so I extracted just that, deepened the blacks, and got some serviceable black-and-white photos out of them.

I'm slowly learning how to use this camera.

Nevertheless -- see the photos here. Yay Jeff, who donned a tux and did a solo and got kudos for it afterward. I got to show the woman sitting next to me his name and say, "That's my boy."

Warm fuzzy all around!

Some nice photos!

I am surprised that just the blue channel came out so well. You can tell there is not a lot of blue in faces, but it still works. The new haircut seems to work for him surprisingly well, too.

Yay!!

Nice photos, and Jeff looks great up there! Hooray!! P.S. So jealous of the camera. I'm still scheming as to how to get my hands on one by Christmas. Hmmmm...

Wow, he didn't tell me he

Wow, he didn't tell me he got a solo!! That's fantastic! (That new baldy look is going to take some getting used to. :D )

joyeuse: I didn't know I had

joyeuse: I didn't know I had it when I talked to you. At any rate, it was a mini-solo, and LOTS of people got them. However, there's a funny story lurking there which I plan to post about tonight. :)
