Tracker

Comment by sbeaumont:
Not sure how many people know the difference between a tracker action and pneumatic action organ so this may be lost on some! However, as an organist with a great affection for trackers, I can appreciate your shot. Purists will say that unless the bellows are operated by hand, the electric blower would disqualify this shot, but I think the organ is a miracle of mechanics - which actually provides the challenge musically! Photographically, the flare on the pipes is rather distracting (presumably from the flash) A tripod and slow shutter speed would have created a more pleasing picture, although churches are hard to expose correctly without some fill light.

I really like the depth of field in this shot. Very warm cozy feel. I like the highlights in the glass a lot.

I can almost here the lovers in the background (j/k). Great use of color in this one, they way the orange of the fire contrast through the reds on the wine, oh, sorry, imagining things again.

Good low key photo. I think I would have liked to see the base of the glass. Other than that, the tones composition and dof are good.
