It also celebrates the recent refurbishment of Princes Pier after years of neglect. This image is two of the members of the Ottoman Mehter Band a powerful offering of vocals and drums from Melbourne's Turkish community ... Cheers J.

They look very serious Joe. If the music was as colourful and dramatic as the visual, it would have been a fabulous event.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence... I am currently reading a mystery that takes place in the old Ottoman Empire, "An Evil Eye". It is great fun!
ReplyDeleteSorry Joe, I just saw your question about the firework photos..because the weather looked a bit dodgy I left my Pentax at home and took in the Lumix Panasonic FZ100, it's a brilliant little lightweight camera with a 24 X zoom, so easy to throw in my handbag that I take it everywhere with me these days and to be honest I set it up on the tripod and put it on automatic focus setting and went from there.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot Joe. Dramatic and colorful!
ReplyDeleteNice close up, very well framed, Joe.
