I'm not a fan of b&w but this is an excellent gallery! Technically flawless, but most imprtantly they really capture the moment ~V~

Great gallery of my favorite artist!
I've seen B.B. In concert many times and had the privilege of meeting him in 1991.

MARK...HAPPY GREETINGS FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - U.S.A. What a stunning black & white photo gallery of "King of the Blues" Mr. B.B. King. Great photos. I saw B.B. King at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel @ Los Angeles, CA., in the mid-70s. AWESOME! He rocked the house down with his genius moments on the guitar and singing voice. CONGRATULATIONS. Tour my Abstract Art Galley & post your comments; www.pbase.com/lille_mcghee THANKS / LILLE

Top class photography Mark. A truly wonderful gallery. It wouldn't look quite the same in colour. -v.

This is absolute excellence.

Ty
A couple of things.
BB was in a spotlight, I also pushed the Tri-x 1 stop (800ISO), pushing makes for more contrast-meter reading was taken selective area (12% i think Canon F1) from his jacket.

Mark, these shots of BB are fantastic and made much punchier by the use of Black and White. Image bb1105 is a quintessential "bb" shot. A fantastic series!

Amazing blues images! Film really has something here. You were wide awake with the shutter release as well. You caught some of the best note-tweak facial expressions I've seen. Great set of eight. g

Thanks for your kind words everyone. Cedric : these were shot on a Canon F1n with a 50mm standard on Tri-x Pushed to 800 asa (now ISO)
