Description Sometimes you can hear her sing from within




I simply wanted to try out an idea and this was the result.
50mm, 1/90, F1.8, ISO400

Now that is just a sweet, sweet composition. What can I say? Even if I wasn't a guitarist, I'd want to be after looking at this. So serene and inviting. Excellent *applauds*

Hey Sean! Thank you so much and it's definitely good to hear from you
Yeah, I'm really enjoying my energized reentry into photography. Too bad my friend had to take this lens back, but I've now got it on order so I can experiment with even more fun stuff like this later

Being a guitar geek myself there isn't a way around this image for me!
Love the lack of colors and the DOF here…a real classic portrait of an Ovation.
Ovation's profile has been very low-key the last few years, huh?
It's been a while since I've been to a shop that still carries them…I guess people tend to go back to traditional constructed guitars…
Anyways...sweet shot!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this Sascha, and for the kind compliments as well!
Yeah, they've been keeping a low profile lately, although every now and then I'd see something surface from them. True, the allure of traditionally constructed guitars is stronger for some people, but from time to time it's always nice to see something new and different that SOUNDS good!

Great title to go with the picture! Glad you put it in black and white too. That really adds to it I think. That doesn't always happen. ^ ^ Of course, I don't know what color it was to begin with.

Thank you so very much! The original color of the guitar is plum, but for the overall composition the b/w just speaks much better

Really nice, there's just a tiny spin on it which adds a lot of spice, and it's not just a normal acoustic guitar, so it's not especially cliche, the grain works wonders, and you get a gold star!
