These images were posted on Facebook during the first week of the new year. Next week I’ll expand the blog to include more images that were not posted on Facebook.

Make Music … Both photos taken with iPhone’s. The cello with the iPhone 6, the piano with the iPhone 7 plus. Both taken in color. The piano was edited in Lightroom on the Mac, then taken into Photoshop for a little tweaking. The. Elbow was edited in Lightroom Mobile on the iPad and taken into Adobe Fix to remove legs showing in the top right corner of the original photo.
