CC Hall, lead guitarist and joint leader of the Canberra band “The Bridge Between”. They specialise in “Blues roots” and featured at Michelago's May Fair again in 2014 (they were there the previous year). They have released an album ”Hope Street”, available through their website www.thebridgebetween.com.au where there also is a link to listen to them. I enjoyed their music enough to buy the CD. My entry for “May 2014-Prime lenses (fixed focal length)” competition. For information, our Prime Lenses Group has monthly competitions (see group discussions). The winner sets the theme and judges the entries for the following month. This month's topic is "musicians playing their instruments."

(Suggest view on black - press 'L') As we set up the food stall, a band were setting themselves up nearby. Well, there are “bands” and “Bands”: I'm very pleased to report that this group was good. So I took some shots of them playing then later managed to catch up with their Co-Leader, “Just call me CC Hall”. CC told me that the band is called “The Bridge Between” and they specialise in “Blues roots”. They are based in Canberra where they are well known and also have done some touring, sometimes also as a supporting group for overseas entertainers. They also have released a recent album ”Hope Street” . I have since done a quick internet search and find they have a website www.thebridgebetween.com.au where you can read more about them and purchase their album. CC very obligingly posed for a portrait for me (second photo), though I think the “action” portrait of him with the microphone is more relevant. I also have included another shot of the band. Thank you for your time and cooperation CC, I hope that you and the group go on to international fame (and that you will make me your official photographer when you do :) ). The main technical consideration here was the extreme contrast of the band wearing dark clothing in the shade and the bright outside sunshine (see 3rd shot): working in RAW helped.
