Image #2 (this one in colour) Evidence of the tuner working, taken whilst he had a break...(he worked for nearly five hours to get it sounding and feeling like a grand...)
Night all!

"You can tuna piano, but can you tune a fish?" Interesting shots, PC.

Hey Misha, that's ya can't tuna fish, but anyway it sounds the same. The photos show a master at work, on BOTH sides of the camera.

Like the b&w one Cam. I think I might have framed it differently and not cropped the top. So are you the pianist or is that your good lady wife? :0 )

Thanks for the feedback people (thanks especially for the compliment Marshall, one I don't feel I fully deserve *grin*). BPM, yep, I understand what you mean about the DOF, but I had the camera on "Automatic" ~ I had only been using it a few days, so hadn't yet got to the Aperture priority settings then. If you want to see a better example of DOF from the camera check out my [Agapantha](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=465659) photo in my gallery. :-)> Here's one more photo of the Piano Tuner himself. The flash didn't go off for this one as the battery was about to need recharging but I quite liked the effect that eventuated...In answer to your question Jeff, we both play but my wife is by far the better player. I have been playing this particular Piano since I was about 8 years old ~ it was my Grandmother's but somehow it lived in my bedroom for quite a few years when I was younger. It is a full iron frame upright "Bulow" made in Sydney Australia in 1916. Thanks again all.
