I've not played around with my 16-35mm f/2.8 L for a while, so hooked it up to my 20D when I had a spare five minutes this afternoon...yes, I know my Ibanez needs a clean , but I quite like the sharpness and perspective on this one



Comments welcome

Perspective does work well. But clean your guitar!!! It's as bad as my sons! This would look good on a large reflective sheet of acrylic.

[Lily]

Yep, great perspective. I can't help feeling that maybe it would benefit from a bit more light on the actual guitar (It does need a clean btw! )

GOOD SHOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE THE NECK TO PUT YOUR GUITAR ON HERE WITHOUT CLEANING IT.

- thanks folks - - my guitars are for playing, not photographing regularly - I like the acrylic sheet idea, though, cheers

Nice guitar, fretboard is fine (not too dirty) from what I can see, so don't worry about it...
Is it a 550?

[Charlotte]

Be good in mono I reckon (which might also help to hide the dust, or at least make it less conspicuous )

Don't like the inner white border, which seems to add to a sense of blown highlights at the top edge of the frame Also it (the white frame) is drawing the eye outward, which I find confusing, because the outer black (or is it blue?) border is then drawing my vision to a screeching halt, so that I find I'm looking at the border a lot

Good perspective + composition

[Sparkymark]

Charlotte - that's very useful feedback, especially about the border - thank you

Jack - it's an RG770DX in Laser Blue - 1992 vintage, and my pride and joy

Nice, mine is a Radius 540R LTD, Jewel Blue 1991

good idea for photo but i would like to see whole guitar - this perspective is not working for me. another thing - it looks like stock photo so you should put it on perfect white background. this photo is good i'm just saying that it could be even better.

[Sparkymark]

Nice axe Jack - I think I played one of those years ago, and I seem to remember those F3 pups really pack a punch too

Thanks Marcin

For me the pic is too much about the head stock and the body is an after-thought in the background. If you only want to make a picture of the head, I would either crop it or use a much greater differential in the focusing so that the body is very blurred but still has a bit more size within the photo.

Cheers,
Rob
