Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONSometimes you shoot one frame and you know, instinctively, that you've got it right. No, there's no arrogance in that statement; I'm not that sort of person. This shot was taken about six weeks ago, when I was photographing a jazz quartet called Mango Juice playing in a Glen Waverley cafe here in Melbourne. It was a warm, sunny afternoon and I suddenly realised the angle and the light were just right to shoot the microphone. The metallic tones just went perfectly with the shades in the background. To see other shots taken that afternoon, go to Everything You Want To Know About Sax and Everest Bass Camp.
