Cast away your shyness, turn them round and reveal all to the masses. ... :-) Here's mine to start the cheeks rolling.

I have always felt that there is a stark beauty to the back of an instrument - it is the backbone, the foundation that holds all of the 'pretty' stuff! toma_hawk01 Advanced Member Username: toma_hawk01 Post Number: 236 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Saturday, August 28, 2010 - 4:04 pm:    Kiss my Alembic...

When she's in her open case in my poorly lit studio, she looks much more stunning than in these shots. I'm seeking ways to duplicate that look in my photos -- both with natural and artificial lighting techniques. -Sam. groovelines Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 618 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 7:57 am:    Here's a link to an article that offers great advice on how to take flattering pictures of your instruments. It appeared on "Bunnybass.com". Too bad they went away, IMHO the best on-line gallery for bass eye candy. Say Cheese oddmetersam Member Username: oddmetersam Post Number: 92 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 8:24 am:    Michael, Thanks for the very informative link. I'll certainly do some experimentation based on this article. Our babies deserve the best! -Sam enzo Advanced Member Username: enzo Post Number: 241 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Friday, September 03, 2010 - 8:51 pm:    Paul I'm disappointed, this thread should have been your idea..........
