If 'Photo-journalism' was going to be the next contest, I'd have entered this, which is an impromptu rehearsal of a local pipe and drums band, in the field across from our house. Well, it looks like the 'eyes' have it but I thought with a little tweaking, this was worth showing. The guy in the black t-shirt has a digital tuner. They said that fro competitions, it can take up to 3 hours to get everyone in tune, just to play a 15 min reel.

Three hours to get a group of bagpipes into tune is an awful long time John, I imagine it could be quite painful on the ears !
Great people upload my friend.

3 hours to tune... what a great noise should be there... real torture. Hope your ears are safe. Great composition, John.

A good shot John and I don't believe there will ever be a Photojournalism contest. Too bad.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I really like your composition and the angle a lot. The shadows add to the mood of the image. Great work!
