This was a truly inspiring concert. No question. The hall and the excellence of the musicians made it something I will remember for a long time. A brass choir that could change the mind of the most dedicated of classical music haters.

This set includes only one photo that has been highly stylized, as I am sure you can see. “Playing with Shadows,” is a tone-mapped single with the color saturation almost completely removed. The result was “resaturated” in Lightroom to show only yellows and a bit of orange. I wanted to find a way to highlight the shadows, reduce him to almost a silhouette, and retain the color of the trumpet. It was an interesting challenge…
