Secrets of Good Lighting in Guitar Photography

Thanks, Chris!

You missed the 360V64 I sold for $998 a couple months ago.

Here are some pics I made of it while I owned it.

What kind of surface did you put it on? I doubt I could find anything as nice as that... besides, every surface here's dusty, even the guitar if I haven't cleaned it for 2 days

That background is a Thunder Grey seamless paper roll made by Savage.

The ebayer who sold me my 360 FG is an avid shutterbug with, apparently, a collection of antique cameras in his living room that would rival the best Rick collections among forumites.

He just took these in his bathroom, but he clearly has an eye and knows what he's doing with the camera.

My wife said the second one looked sexual...

Had to edit my post as I felt i had to restrain myself and not cross the line.When you are given a line like that its all too much.
it had to be the horn didnt it?

Naughty naughty, Scott.

Fortunately, my subscription notification email gave me the full, unexpurgated text. But since you're self-censoring, I'll do the same -- and completely refrain from remarking upon any truss rod adjustments or toaster winding or anything like that.

Um...

Anyway, getting back to the photographs...

I'd like to know what's in his collection. There was an auction last year here of an estate sale, which was a single person's HUGE photographic equipment collection. Cameras going back to 1850, lots of view cameras, movie cameras from the crank as you go era, etc.

BTW, I have a photo your wife would really like!

I prefer natural sunlight - just have a look at the 350/12V63 post :

Peter --- very nice close-up photography work there on your 350/12v63 in the natural sunlight

I love taking pictures of my Ric. I need to get some candid outdoor shots.

Now that, I like! The tonal qualities of the guitar blend nicely with the table!

I'm developing a serious case of RAS for a 480 for some reason...

Nice photo, Erik!

Care to enlighten us on your technique?
