Photo Challenge - Guitar - No Due Date

Great idea for a thread. Here's my entry, my beloved vintage strat ... it's all about tone, hence the focus on the tone knobs.

What year is your strat?

This shot was taken when I was learning how to use my Nikon.

Part of my first guitar, a cheap plywood superstrat wannabe.

Thanks! I took it with the 18-55mm kit lens and a reversing ring I bought for like 6 bucks!

Over in the "World Through One Lens" thread, I had suggested that the Canon shooters could maybe do a reverse lens macro with the Nikon-mount lens that's being passed around. It really is a cool technique that can render some MASSIVE magnification!

yep even the 18-55 gets insane magnification. and it can be really sharp too! in fact, now that I just got my 50d, with live view, I bet I can do even better!

I meant to ask, where did you get a reversing ring for $6? I've always seen then in the $30-50 range.

 

[robertwsimpson]

I dunno, I just googled it. it's worth all $6 fo sho. probably not $7, though.

This is a still frame from a doc I shot a while back. Shot on a Panasonic DVX-100b.

This is straight out of the camera.

Hey Pugs, what is that, a silverface Champ? I'm looking at mine right next to me and that's gotta be it.... Nice amp!

Yep! It's a Silverface Champ, and you're right, it is a great little amp. It delivers some of the creamiest crunch when you push it and can back off to some of the cleanest tones when you back off. I love that you can go from clean to overdrive just by changing your attack on the strings, or in the case of my tapped humbuckers by flipping from single coil to double.

It's a beautiful, little amp and mic'd through a decent PA it can stand up with the big boys!

Pugs, let me know if I am out of line with these.

 

[Pugs]

Javier, you know that I dig your work! No, these are not out of line at all.

And now for something completely different, weird abstract whatever adjective you care to use. This is my son's really inexpensive acoustic.
