Challenge: Perspective IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: My basement
Date: Nov 19, 2006
Aperture: f22
ISO: 400
Shutter: 30 seconds

Date Uploaded: Nov 20, 2006

 Shot RAW in my basement. Guitar was lying on a table that was draped with a piece of black felt pinned to the wall. The lighting was a single 100 watt bare bulb and I held an umbrella over it to kill the shadows.

Adjusted a few things in RAW and converted to PS
Crop
Resize
Levels (black point)
Photo Filter (Cooling 82 - 25%)
Noise Ninja
USM (100, .3, 0)
Slight bump in curves
Slight cyan color balance
Stroke matching the color of the brand name
Adjust master saturation +25
Rotate 180 degree
Save for Web

It looks good on my calibrated monitor, but I've looked at it on a couple LCDs and you can see the background and a shadow. I hope most voters have calibrated CRTs!

Extreme perspective and depth of field and a great job on the lighting - top 5 for sure.

Gives the guitar a rather toothy grin, doesn't it?

Very clever, when it finally clicked in what I was looking at it was like wow.

i like the focus and lighting on this - almost wish it was flipped and converted to B/W to see what it looks like

Thats an unusual perspective for sure! Having it "upside down" was a nice touch. Wouldn't have been the same on its back downwards.
