A fun day at work

Some products just make you glad to be a photographer... today is one of those days for us.

Here is just one of the outtakes while we were setting up the lighting. Shooting Gibson's, Strat's, Ibanez, and Epiphone guitars kept a smile on everyone's face all day long.

    Beautiful shot of a beautiful guitar but I so so want those controls to be in focus. I know, can't have it all and the pickups/bridge being in focus is lovely but just wish you'd had a touch more DoF :)

    This one was the Epiphone chameleon. I had such a blast working this one as it changed to 4 different colors depending on the angle of the light.

    Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time to play with non work photos, but we'll be going back early next year to shoot the new models. I'll plan on adding an extra hour or two just for playing around.

    I played around with different focal points to see what I could come up using the macro tubes. I wanted that sweeping color, and moving to a different lens to get more depth altered the shot so much it just didn't grab me.

    Here is one we took for fun and the client ended up loving it so much they ordered a large print to hang in some of their stores.

    Beautiful perspective. Reminds me a little of the shots that Gibson and Gretch guitars used in days gone by when I was learning to play my favorite Chet Atkins' songs!

    The old Gibson ads were certainly the inspiration (we sure are showing our age here)
