on Good Friday i went to a production of Bach's "St. Matthew's Passion" with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion. i was so moved by the piece that i had to try to capture the feelings and mood and hope. this is my attempt at that. i hope you like it.

How were you able to achieve this effect? I like it! It's very moody and passionate! :)

it is a combination of photos that include a grand chadelier and the L.A. Philharmonic Symphony/Choir at the Dorthey Chandler Pavillion. the Symphony/Choir proformed the 2-1/2hour production. i tweaked the photo combination in Photopaint to get the effects i felt conveyed the mood and ray of hope. do you want to see the base photos?

Oh, now I see the chandelier! :) Yes, I'd love to see the originals, too!

here are the base photos for this work.

I'm not seeing anything here, Gwyn. :(

this is the choir/symphony base picture

Here is the Chandelier portion of the base

here finally is the Chandelier portion of the base

interesting interesting work...you must have been greatly moved. Like the quote also from Robert Schumann. Look at that chandelier.....wow, how creative that you put them together.....music, light, the performers, god...

Fantastic!!! You never seem to amaze me at the things you produce!! Leigh

I'm glad you posted the originals. :) Thank you! I love the way you were able to really portray passion and depth that I can FEEL in your final composition. Great work! :)

i try to do work that captures the mood and feelings and emotions i'm feeling or want to capture. i work with intuition mostly, and am surprised myself on how some of my stuff come out
