Cosmo Studios Photo Retouching - Guitar Samples
Re: Cosmo Studios Photo Retouching - Guitar Samples
Thanks, Paul. My favorites are the first retouch - the bleached wood with gold hardware & white pickguard, the solid white with gold hardware and white PG, and the last - the solid white with all gold plated hardware.

I've got that much, but how do you stand em up? I've seen people hang by wire, use clear stands, etcwalker wrote:Wes - I just took the shots against a white background. Makes it easy to crop & fade out any unwanted background distractions.
Re: Cosmo Studios Photo Retouching - Guitar Samples
I just lay them on the ground and took the picture from above. You could also lean them up against a wall instead of using a stand.

Here's my latest project - a composite collaboration with Antfarm Studios. He supplied the girl in the costume, and I did the rest.
Here's the before & after:

If I recall correctly, he ended up going with the white with all chrome hardware.

Interesting detail work on the toaster.

The origin of the white backround is more interesting. If You buy Prosciutto di Parma in the cuts, this is a pearl glossy white separating foil. So I made probably first toaster pick-up with the ham flavourjps wrote:Interesting detail work on the toaster.

Hey - a bonus if you get hungry during a gig!
Any thought about painting the tug bar white, too?

I´m thinking about the better white coat of the knobs and maybe about the silver toggle switch. No energy for the improvement in this time....walker wrote:Hey - a bonus if you get hungry during a gig!

After lurking here for a while (not too much to offer – just absorbing) I have to say – you all amaze me as much as the wood-work folks do making a block of wood into a bass. I have dabbled (have a few 35mm bodies and lenses and an underwater camera… sitting around) but you all show some really amazing artistry. Regardless of shooting (i.e., Jeff) or editing (i.e., Mark), I have to say you all (and some of the others here) have probably forgotten more than I will ever know about this stuff. Thanks for being great sources of info – and love the web sites!!!
