Electric Violin, Open Mic Night at Quenched & Tempered
Caught this one mid-solo at Quenched & Tempered’s weekly Open Mic Night in downtown Toledo — an electric violin with a glowing LED bow cutting through the brewery’s dim, brick-walled taproom. Shot on the OM-1 with the 45mm f/1.2 and a black mist filter to soften the highlights and give that glow a little extra…
