LK155 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 First foray into RAW images, manipulating them, making the files smaller (much smaller) than the originals. I have a great deal to learn. One thing I learned right away is that you should always clean your fretboard before photographing your guitar. Oh well. Things were very blue today......

111518 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 They are nice shots, and, I think the variation in the color of the fingerboard just adds to the levels of connection with the background surfaces. A new level to the debate over fingerboard cleaning ... aesthetic continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsmoke Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Excellent composition. Blue guitars are growing on me, oddly enough. This doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have always shot RAW. It is so easy to edit the images for exposure in RAW. Of course we try not to over or under expose but it happens. If you have ever shot Basketball you need it in those unlit gyms. What camera did you get?

LK155 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 What camera did you get? Not sure I want to tell. I know some folks are extremely passionate about their brand of camera, so I'd rather not stir anything up. Let's just say it's a 5-letter brand name, and the model consists of some letters and numbers. That should narrow it down. For starters, I just bought a 'walking-around' 18-140mm zoom lens, and find it pretty accommodating in terms of framing the shot I want. Other, faster lenses can come later. Found this guy sleeping in a tree nearby, so I shot him. (He was a long way up, and no, I couldn't see his head...you're looking at his south end.)

HANGAR18 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Excellent composition. Blue guitars are growing on me, oddly enough. This doesn't help.

cobrafast1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 That is one Gorgeous Guitar..... I Love the sea scape background. Totally COOL !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LK155 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not quite a seascape...more like a bayscape. Those shots were taken at the Craigleith Provincial Park on Georgian Bay, just west of Collingwood, Ontario. (Fire up Google Maps and find it! Google Images has some nice pictures as well.) The shoreline and well out into the water is all shale. Strange, though, because just a few miles to the east along the bay is Wasaga Beach, which is all sand.
