    Slopic 2, The pic on the left...now that's photography. You captured the mood. Nice use of shallow depth of field. If your happy with the colors the WB white balance adjusted for the type of light used would have corrected it. Good as is. That's art.

    JohnA your enthusiasm inspired me. If I'm gonna talk the talk I might as well walk the walk. I took these this morning with the cheap Canon point & shoot in P Program AE mode in my dining room. Everthing in auto default mode. 2 second self timer. Overcast day. I even bought a cheap polyester...

    JohnA, There are a few Camera setup scenerios. Let's just stick with scenerio 1 for now. NOTE: Fortunately shooting in full auto mode default settings is excellent with the Sony DHC-S2 according to dpreview. You proved it with your excellent pics. You just have to control the lighting & meter...

    MIJvintage, What kind of bug is that. That is huge. The camera is a tool. Crappy digital or not. I have an artist friend in Atlanta that buys vintage toy camera's from China & Russia on eBay & take pictures with that. That inspired me. Just set that crappy digital aperature to the highest...

    MIJ Vintage, Those are good shots. You just have to take advantage of the camera's internal light meter like the pro's do. Right now it's metering the entire scene. You need to meter the subject. You can take advantage of that white garage door to reflect natural light. Angle the guitar just...

    No problem. Those are great shots by the way. We'll take it to the next level. You have a good camera to work with. Just downloaded the manual. Let me read it & I'll get back to you. Just remember that direct sunlight is too harsh. Clouds diffuse the light & perfect for close ups. Sheer curtains...

    JohnA If you give me the Make & Model of your camera I can download the manual & give you the camera setup for your specific camera to get those shots. Cloudy days make perfect diffusers of natural light for close ups. If the light is too harsh from the window just put up a white bed sheet or...

    Here are some pics of my MIK with the wife's point & shoot Canon Power Shot A700. Looked at the tiny manual & it's way too complicated & filled with clutter. Camera manufacturers are notorious for terrrible manuals. These tiny cameras are sophisticated & way underutilized & have a lot of...

    Thanks. Photos were a rush job. I used a Nikon D80 but I can get the same results with a Canon Elf & Canon Power Shot or any point & shoot camera. I used natural lighting coming from the left. No flash. Tripod. Zoomed in tight on the body & locked the camera internal light meter readings in...

    Got the Tokai GT on Tuesday. Awesome feel & playability as is. Took some quick pics before rushing it to the luthier for a pro setup & detailed inspection for hidden flaws. I couldn't see any. Awesome guitar. Not a collectable but would make a great player & workhorse. Not familiar with the neck...
