Studying the Steinway


Image of the Day: May 2, 2009

My niece, Jamie, presented her senior piano recital on Saturday, May 2. I had a few minutes beforehand to admire the craftsmanship of the Steinway she would be playing. This is a closeup of the workings under the open lid of the piano.

This image and yesterday’s image were both made using an amazing lens, my Nikon’s 60mm AF Micro Nikkor. Translated that means it is a lens that allows me to get really close to the subject. The trade-off is the narrow depth-of-field, which helps highlight a slice of the subject.
