11th - "Hanging on the Telephone"

Cheltenham, Glos

(from Blondie's 1978 album Parallel Lines)

For all the obvious reasons, I thought Debbie Harry was (ahem) reasonably pretty :o)...and the music was quite good too!! This and 'Rapture' are my favourite of theirs

The macro lens has been stretching of its legs recently and showing off its skills - this one is quirkily angled, close up and wide open, just how I like it!! Not much fettling with this - a straight forward conversion to B&W and a bit of a Curve to bring out the shadows and highlights...easy-peesy-cheesy!

Finally!!! A song I know - and remember :o)

Great result, and wide open is the way it should be. "V" I thought Debbie was (ahem) reasonably pretty too. :)

Johnny JAG		10-Dec-2009 20:22
Great choice but I'd say very reasonably .....

Well chosen angle and DOF. They make this picture interesting.

Great focus, Doug...I like how the light & shadow defines the rest...well done !!

Terrific use of your macro Doug! I need to dust off my new macro and learn how to use it! I've always loved Blondie! Thanks for taking me down memory lane. :-)
