Bass Photography!

[line6man]

I'm not very good at taking pictures, but here is a pic of my Warmoth Jazz bass:

And here is a picture of the neck of my other Warmoth Jazz bass. I know it's just a neck and not the whole instrument, but I think it's a beautiful picture:

nice!

Thanks !

I thought the Burgundy Mist stood out nicely, but tied the various colors and surfaces (wood, sky, trees) together. I wish I had a better camera, but I do what I can with the camera I've got.

Seeing all these nice shots inspired me to take some artsy shots of my Ibanez EDA905F.

My EDA905F.

That confounded piezo bridge and the dull-sounding magnetic pickup. Carefully blended, they sound good together.

The ebonol fingerboard.

A little help from an amphibian.

All shots taken with a 100mm macro lens @ f11.

This one in particular is desktop wallpaper worthy.

Dude, that frog shot is *awesome*

 

[MarkusBass]

+1 on the frog awesomeness.

 

[MonetBass]

+2 on the frog shot. The contrast against the red is fantastic.

 

[Thunderitter]

+3 on the frog!

Next question what sort of frog is it?

 

[Chef]

if it's not poisonous, it looks like it should be!

 

[Thunderitter]

...and it looks like it's been hand painted

 

[OrionManMatt]

noice.

Wow! I made these shots yesterday almost out of boredom.

Thank you for the kind words, EagleMoon, Chef, Markusbass, Monetbass, Thunderitter and OrionManMatt.

You guys made my day!

I have two other frog on the fingerboard pictures I was considering, but I liked the one I posted the best.

I'll post the other two later, and give a little more info on the lighting setup.

If anyone wants to use any of these shots as wallpaper or print any of them out, please do so.

Thunderitter, you are correct; the frog is not real. It's a prop that's supposed to hang from the side of a flower pot. I bought it about a year ago, but never used it in a photo until yesterday.

Thank you all again.

Nice Dude!

 

[J. Crawford]

Wow! Those are some of the best in this thread, and its due to the frog!

Nice shallow depth-of-field on this one.

Now THIS is what I believe Thunderitter is talking about. Great thought behind this Darkstar!

Aloha, Ian
