This photo is not technically perfect. It is not the most interesting subject. But it fits the description of this challenge. This was taken at th 37th Annual Pig BBQ at my girlfriends parents house. About 200 people from all other the NW, and the world come. The pig is roasted most of the day, and then we eat and eat and eat. Just about the time you finish munchin the bluegrass starts up. Every one of the performers has cut at least one CD, and many of them 20 or 30 CDs. The talent is astounding. They play together once a year, but they do it like the practice every night. No sheet music, no conductor, nothing. This was my third pig roast and I hope I get many more. I was elected to photograph the party and took over 100 shots. Sadly the lighting was so low I just left the camera in auto mode because it would select the same settings I would have to use. Next year I hope to have a monopod. Most shots were taken at 1/40 of a second, right at the cusp of being too slow to hand hold.
