Whaddaya think? I tried to make the tuner thingys brighter than everything else to really make them stand out. Tell me if they really stand out to you, and whether or not you like it, please.



thanks

The tuner thingys look like light bulbs. Did you light them or PS the effect?

I used lights and reflected them off the tuners.

I like the idea of this shot, but I think the tuning pegs are too bright. I have learned a trick for working with chrome that you may want to try here.

Hold up a piece of white paper so that it reflects on the key surfaces. Illuminate that paper rather than the keys themselves. This should give you a nice image where the keys are bright, but not at the cost of the exposure on the headstock.

Good advice Mr. Setzler...

i wanted to try and light up the tuners a lot brighter than everything else, just to see what it looked like. I thought a plain evenly lit shot of a guitar would have been boring, so I tried illuminating the tuners.
