Members Destructobot Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 Way too many shots of beautiful amps, guitars, and pedals floating around here that are all blurry due to camera shake. Turn that flash on, the gear porn gods demand it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 Better yet take pix outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 Flash is harsh and usually causes a lot of glare. Just dont shake your camera or use adaquate room light. Post your pics however you like though. It makes things more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snowden Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yeah. A direct light is bad especially on shiny things. That's why you see photographers with a light pointing into an umbrella. It breaks up the light to make it more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Destructobot Posted October 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 True about the glare, but it's not so bad unless you're up really close. Zoom in and stand back, or better yet get an SLR and one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fadedjoy Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 or you could buy a tripod, i took this tonight of my mustang and did some photoshopping, 8 second delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Destructobot Posted October 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 That's a nice looking mustang! I don't normally like mini-hb's but that guitar is just perfect for it. Good call on the tripod, they're cheap if you don't need something fancy and durable. Even just a table would do most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members homestar_kevin Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 outside is pretty much the best place to do it, but then you have to get time to take everything outside and looking like a tool taking pictures of pedals in your backyard.

Members tenoken Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 outside is pretty much the best place to do it, but then you have to get time to take everything outside and looking like a tool taking pictures of pedals in your backyard. Or your front yard! Hahaha. But seriously I was transporting them out to my car anyway, so it wasn't THAT staged. Score for the freshly cut lawn backdrop.

Members juice Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 Cheap fix to avoid the reflections and glares...angle an index card in front of the flash to "fill" with the light from the flash without actually directly lighting the object.

Members Keith SIO Posted October 9, 2007 Members Share Posted October 9, 2007 PLZ DON'T UZE FLASH!!! Makes gross...I hate flash so much. Outside = the best, or set up various lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
