About the Image(s)

The pub was very crowded and it was difficult to maneuver into a position where I could include more of the traditional Irish drum (percussion instrument) or the faces of the musicians that were nearest to me, but this was the best I could do. The pub was rather dark, which is why I needed to employ the following parameters: Sony a6400 camera (APS-C) with an 18-105mm lens at 18mm (27mm equivalent), 1/25” (I applied Topaz Sharpen to remove slight motion blur), f/4.0, ISO 4000 (Denoise was apparently not necessary. Some noise was removed when I applied Topaz sharpen/motion blur correction.).

The auxiliary photo shows the fiddler. Being a classically trained violinist, I asked her if she would teach me a fiddle tune or two. She agreed to do so, but only if I provided my own instrument which, unfortunately, was back in the US. Sigh...
