I was asked to take pictures for the church website one Sunday morning, so I did. I got there early to shoot the worship team during their pre-service rehearsal. I didn't want to interrupt the worship service any more than I was going to. This gave me a chance to get up on stage and shoot the team. I thought this would be a good shot of Dan Martinson. Instead of the usual shot from the front, I thought to back light him. This gave me nice shadows, but also a few nice lens flares. I am also a Photoshop junkie, so I increased the contrast with bringing out the darkness in the photo and amplifying the highlights. It's not one of Dan's favorites, but I don't care. I like it.

Who cares what Dan thinks, Joe. :) This has always been one of my favorite shots. You have a pic that also captures the "moment". Nice work!
