Grrrreat thread kids!

 

[Chebass88]

I think this thread is proof we need to dust our basses once in awhile lol

Or perhaps use cameras with a lower fidelity! (kidding, of course)

Mine were all shot with my Nikon D80 using the stock 18-55 DX lens (Nikon) or my 28-200 Tamron. I need to spend some more time & get MUCH better at using it!

Great stuff!!

imp.

This thread is awesome... this pictures are so sexy a step away from being pornography


I would fill my room walls with this if I knew my girlfriend wouldn't crucify me and use the picts as a holy shroud.

Well finally a sunny day and some better light however, now I get reflection problems! Oh well, can't win.

By the way, all of my pictures have been taken with a Sony DSC-W55 (point-and-shoot). You can see it in several shots!

x2 wheres my camera inspiration has struck LOL...

Edit well it did till I see I forgot to turn the camera off LOL...

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

that shot of the machinehead is great.

Yeah, that one turned out particularly well. I like the last one of the Tokai headstock too.

The machine head shot embodies a couple pretty classic "tricks:"

forced foreground; making something that otherwise not be in the pic part of the very front of it...the out of focus worm drive gear crammed in there...nice.

field line magnetism: forcing the viewers eye to follow a line of sight to objects off screen, not necessarily seen...but your brain wishes it could. the line to the back of the pic, and the other way blurred out machine heads...also very nice.

the light is also very nice in that it allows the defects in the driven gear, and the not so very polshed surface of the screw head seem aesthetically pleasing, instead of appearing as faults. ambient light tho, right?

well done.
