Wonderful Nico, you certainly have become a master at lighting your subjects. Beautifully creative ~ Regards Bob

Thanks, guys. In spite of the dust - which really irritates the life out of me! - it came out pretty much as I had hoped. I had a soft box to the right and slightly behind the guitar - lighting the blue edge only. And to the left I had a light that was highly directional (through a honeycomb), just touching the strings. Shortly afterward, one of the strings broke, so I probably won't be able to re-shoot. :-( Regards Nico

This is a knockout Nico. I'm trying to work out how you arranged the lights. Regards, Michael

oh dang. I knew you'd enter a winner, Nico. sigh Ok. shakes off disappointment and enjoys the beauty This is quite lovely, Nico. That punch of blue is amazing. And, there's just enough detail in the darkness to make it all clear. Amazing. ~Lydia

Reply to Self...don't be so super critical...it's a hell of a shot...and yet, and yet, maybe you want to shoot it one more time? You should have the set up down pat.....this is pretty close to being a winner. traveller
