Amor!

"The judge raised his hand and instead of Desist and Cease
Judgie came to the stand, took my hand...
and whispered Amor!"
-text Arnold Weinstein, music William Bolcom, singer Velda Jones in her Senior Recital

No photography was permitted during the Recital. After a million family and friends posed with her, I finally got her to give me this pose from the song, "Amor!" She has a tremendous voice and it didn't fail her through about an hour plus of challenging singing. She's also got great stage presence.

Nikon D100
1/60s f/2.8 at 145.0mm with Flash ISO 1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent! You've captured a great pose and expression. I'd love to see more of these : )

Sounds like you had fun. I like her pose, the lighting and what I can see of her dress!!

Courage, Jeanne? No. We have the same voice teacher. I used to have my lesson right after her, so I would interupt to kick her out. She works in the music library, too. We've seen each other enough over the past three years that she even knows my name.

Wow, Mark, what have we here? An absolute gem of a shot - I just love candids especially of elegant women!
You will have to bite the bullet and BUY yourself a DSLR!

Her stage presence definitely comes through in this photograph. And her beauty. And her great taste in jewelry.

She is beautiful... as is the photograph. It sounds like a very nice performance.

Mark - this is one amazing shot! I wonder how much longer you will be "renting" the D100!? Her skin tones are right on, and I can't believe this was shot at 1600 - excellent!

Rockin' the house with the D100!!! Awesome shot! Isn't it fun what courage being armed with a camera can give you!???
