Cellpic Sunday – Musicians at the Faire

These musicians have an admirer.

At this year’s North Dakota Renaissance Faire, we enjoyed watching several performers, not the least of which was this duo. Obviously, we weren’t the only ones who enjoyed their music. This little guy was dancing with his mom for a while, then Daddy came up to keep an eye on him. After a few tentative steps, he reached the edge of the stage and stayed there for the song’s duration.

About the photo: Captured on my Samsung S23U, I exported the image into Luminar Neo after cataloging and basic edits in Lightroom. In Neo, I ran Supersharp, tweaked the Enhance AI tool, and added just a touch of structure. I cropped it square for use on Instagram, something I’ve been doing lately since rejoining the social network after a four-year hiatus. You’ll find me there as steinej2. To pixel-peep the photo in 2K HD, click on the image to view it on my Flickr account.

I encourage fellow bloggers to create their own Cellpic Sunday posts. I never have a specific topic for this feature, and the only rules are that the photo must be captured with a cell phone, iPad, or another mobile device… If you have an image from a drone or even a dashcam, that’s acceptable as well. The second rule is to link your challenge response to this post or leave a comment here with a link to your post in the comment. Oh, and, you don’t have to post it on a Sunday.

  14. kiddo looks like he’s having a blast listening to the music – always nice to see.

    that’s a great camera on the S23U – it didn’t lose the highlights in the back uncovered area while keeping its meter on the subjects

    • It doesn’t blow out the highlights unless really pushed. There is plenty of detail there so when I run it through my edits, the superbright areas are easily toned down with Lightroom or Neo’s highlights tool.
