The POTM for March was from Allayne Foley.

Jazz Musician

Allayne said “I took the photo with my Nikon D70 while on holiday on Lord Howe Island last winter. I was staying at Pine Trees where they have jazz musicians in the winter as an added attraction because the weather is not so good. Its a great place to stay to relax, unwind and eat the fabulous food!

The photo was taken indoors at night (without flash) and the light was very poor. I put the ISO to 1000 in order to get the photo. The quality is therefore pretty noisy. I was hoping to get a photo where I could show the musicians close relationship to his instrument and his intensity of listening to the sound. I made the photo black and white so I could concentrate on just the strings of the double bass and the fingers and face of the musician. “

The March projected image of the month was “Off to Market” by Graham Tibbits. 

This was taken on Graham and Lorraine’s last trip to Vietnam with Spotlight on Asia tours.

February’s POTM is from Suzanne Richards.

Suzanne was walking by a river when she noticed a large 6cm bubble floating down stream. She asked her husband to wave to give the photo interest and they are also reflected in all the bubbles in the image, especially the one in the top left.
