The Couch ? The BEST way to take a guitar collection picture
The Couch ? The BEST way to take a guitar collection picture
Hey friends,
It's been a long since I'm here now, and I've discussed with lot of passionates here, with beautiful colllections, and I came back with the same problem/question : What is the best way to take a guitar collection in picture ?
Of course we've got THE COUCH our best friend for a group photo ! But, our guitars deserve more than a couch, don't you think ?!
We've got walls, pool table, racks, outside, ... but nothing unique for a family portrait ...
Feel free to share any idea concerning taking picture of 10+ guitars in the same frame, with style
Cheers !

Haven't come across any Andersons in years, an independent shop near me used to carry them, I played some many years ago and remember i liked them, But at that point in time I did not have the budget for such things. The independent shop closed down due the big box guys. Over the past 2 or 3 years I have been hoping one would float by in my local market, but I have not seen any.

What model(s) do you like? I have owned 6 of them over the years. Still have a 1988 Pro Am. I travel in Anderson circles occassionally so I can keep an eye open.

That's it!
Guitars attract attention and don't get lost in the background details.
I have to shot a new pic, lot of changes in my collection...plus the Iron Cross was not in that pic, and I LOVE that guitar.
Um, okay. I guess. Not exactly what I'd go for, but I don't always understand the mind of every artist.
Perhaps try a lens blur instead of a horizontal gausean, next time. It will give the concept of depth in the photo without keeping all of the detail. Or pulling the couches further from the back wall and get some blur from the depth of field, if that's what you're going for.

The blurry photo was a response to SteelEdge's photo. The V's was the culmination of a (very old) thread where a newcomer to the forum asked if there was a production JH-1 in the green flames. Fun with Photoshop was had, and even the OP of that thread had a good time.

Not quite as good without all of the photos and a few missing comments from people who never re-registered with the forum change, but you get the idea.
ever play Tom Andersons?
