MSOC Easter Concert ~ Part 3

 ...As soon as the lights went down and the choir came on the photos I took from then on were completely transformed by the lighting and how I worked with the lights and angles my camera towards  them with the singers harmonising in between. Quite a few of my light angling pictures came out as silhouettes or pitch black ( i.e. too much light!) but when I got it just right there were some really good ones rich in colour. Below are a few of my favourites that helps sum the concert and my final post covering the MSOC Easter concert

 - Enjoy!

 In this photo I was just quick enough to catch a little 'audience participation'!

Being in a choir looks pretty fun :)

MSOC Easter Concert ~ Part 1

Over Easter I got my chance to be more involved with photography professionally at Manchester Sing Out Choir's annual Easter concert :D

I took well over 300 photo's that night and it's taken me some time to cut it down to a bloggable number since I've been back at uni - but here it is! There were quite a few things that were different from last years concert - starting with 'The Market'...

The Market had been set up to showcase different talents and businesses from the surrounding area from fashion students and jewellers to artists and florists. It was the first thing the audience saw when they got to the concert and all these bright colours, smells and bubbly sellers were completely different to the miserable weather outside.

It's HEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!

So so so so so so so so soooooooo excited!!!

My keyboard is finally here! :D I say finally as if I've been waiting a long time, even though I only ordered it on Monday night, it seemed to take forever for it to arrive! I went down to reception to collect it yesterday and the man behind the desk looked at my "You've got mail slip" looked to my super excited face and chuckled a little, probably still adjusting to the strange packages that pass through halls each day - my keyboard adding to the list.


So much better than a TV no? :)

I gotta say I felt pretty proud carrying it under my arm through the court yard, up the lift and into the flat. And Vickee and Emma (2 of my 4 lovely flat mates) were pretty excited to see me open it and get playing too.


It was beautifully sunny today as well!

 I'm gonna ease myself back into playing the piano again, hopefully mastering one piece a week before I hit the grade work.

Week one: A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton

I think I've fooooooooound one!

I've already begun to make a start on my aims for 2012 and got google-ing to try and find the best deals online for full length keyboards.

 I'm going to wait until I go back to uni  before buying it though. This way I can measure my desk, just to make sure it'll actually fit! From what I've seen I think the one below is the one for me :D

What a beaut!
