Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I've pretty much given up; this is the best I've been able to do. I hope RIC gets some oven knobs in soon; I'd like to replace the vintage knobs on the BB with the more gold guard-correct oven knobs.

Hey, it's a nice group shot and they're all in focous.

Pick of the Rics currently has the vintage-style knobs in stock, they're an authorized Ric dealer and the parts are all Genuine. I've used them before and they were referred to me by the Rickenbacker support staff.

Sunny day, outside, no flash = great pictures.

Is that your nose being reflected in the neck plate?

Haha, it's actaully my hand holding the barrel of my camera. I origionally took some nice shots with the camera setup on the tripod, but only realised after I had packed everything up that the exposure was too low and the focous was off. It's what I get for being lazy I guess. The only ones that turned out well were the ones I snapped real quick with the camera in my hands.

You're not that lazy, you did originally use a tripod.

Oh, what I meant was that I didn't take the time to check the shot and make sure the settings were all correct for shooting out in daylight. Then I packed everything up before sitting down to look at them on my computer.

I'll get a nice shot of the front out in the sun eventually.

A bit of underexposure can be corrected in PS fairly well. if you want to feel good about that, here is a story for you. I knew a guy who did a backpack trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains with his 4x5 camera; when he got back to his darkroom after the trip to unload his film holders (remember film? ) he found out that he never loaded them!
