The singer emerges from the depths and takes the stage. ![]() And immediately bursts into song with a coy look over the left shoulder as if to say 'are you getting this'?? ![]() The audience of one have to move for a better view. Unfortunately the singer is back lit but this will prove to be advantageous later. ![]() After some positioning. ![]() And neck exercises. ![]() And a haughty 'are you ready' look at the audience. ![]() The show commences. ![]() ![]() With adjustments to the lighting. ![]() Caught mid blink. ![]() ![]() Is that better? ![]() If so I'll grace you with a close up. ![]() Before a rather ignominious stage exit... ![]() |

Peter,
A wonderful photographic essay. Obviously the Darter was socially isolating in accordance with current restrictions. Love the close-ups and the detail in the back light. Just a couple of questions: 1. was it melodious, or just harsh squawking? 2. was the intended subject of the serenade suitably impressed? |

Thanks to everyone. Yes Joe very suitably impressed in that it gave me many simple shots with which to practice my masking techniques with my new software. ![]() ![]() As to the actual performance, although somewhat raucous, I think it was a love duet as a reply would come from the other side of the lake about 500M away. This back and forth duet went on for about five minutes until a a child ran up causing an early retreat. After the child departed my hopes for an encore were in vain.... |

Very nice. Was it an alto, a soprano or a tenor? Maybe it was a bass. Judging from the pictures, it's a natural for sound projection.
