BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Finalist BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner  
1956
1956
My husband's vintage 1956 Les Paul Jr. guitar... lying on stomach, using the guitar case for stability, I used natural window light to capture this, 1/5 second, ISO 400, f/4; Canon 24-105 L IS lens at 45 mm; cropped tightly, super sharpened, neat image and converted to sepia using Picasa software

Excellent shot and intrigueing title! I like the way the focus appears to 'vibrate 'the strings

  Sheila -- this is absolutely gorgeous and should do well in the contest -- whatever category you assign it to. Despite all the editing you describe, it looks effortlessly perfect. I love it! (and I agree with the comment above re the vibrations -- so cool!)

  Thanks Pam and Roger... Another of spouses very very treasured 'toys'.. I even left the dust on there, thought it was cool... would you believe that etched on the back of this guitar is 'e.pressley', lol... yes I am sure the king of rock owned this, eh? I appreciate your interest!
