Newbie's First Post - "Hanging Telecaster"

Well I finally did it. After years of cutting corners and making do w/ point and shoot classics I dropped a dime (or about 9000 actually) on a digital SLR. Here's something I did last night. Hope you like it...

Ok so I know there are a ton more better shots of the moon out there. Had to try my hand at it though. It was a little hazy out that night too. This image was cropped a bunch but I still ended up w/ a large enough moon to print (if I really wanted to).

I really like the second one, you're a quick learner. Keep it up.

OK, but it's not a REAL telecaster with that bridge and the humbucker.... LOL!!! Only kidding - I like these shots!

Holy crap!!! Busted!!!! Ok you got me. It's a Squier. :blushing:

I do, however, have a Joe Barden pickup installed. Gives a little extra something to it...
