  | Second best to natural lighting? So, im gonna sell my s7 (buy it, btw  )but i need to get good photo's of it, and ive been trying since friday, i cant get enough natural lighting. nice clear skies with dense cloud coverage just around the sun  So, if that doesnt work, whats the best way to light up a guitar for pretty pictures? Hopefully i can get some good sun, but things dont seem to be looking that way. One of you photobuffs have some advice for a opticaln00b? Reverse Headstocks or Bust Dude...i just got a spam email that was titled "Funky date rape trick" -Zepp88 I just got another funny email "Her pussy smiled at me" -Zepp88 Don't tell me you haven't heard of Raptor Jesus  It's important that you know this information :headnod: It will decide your fate when we are pwned. -JoeOvChaosI was going KAT KAT KAT KAT and you were going KAT... chk... KAT... chk-die. -TomAwesome |

| I'd say just try to use the whitest light you can. Fluorescent lights tend to work better than regular bulbs if possible. You can also take it into Photoshop to correct any color inaccuracies.

 | I have the exact same problem you have. Every time I want to take a decent picture of my guitars (like today, with the RGT) it's cloudy and overcast out and everything just looks craptastically dark. :: chrisquigley.com :: Sevenstring Registry :: Share Your Music :: Share Your Patches :: Sevenstring.org MySpace chmod +ax /bin/laden |

| Fluorescent FTW.  Whenever I wanna take guitar pic's and it's dark out, the Fluorescent light in my bathroom owns. RIP MIKE |

| This is something I struggle with all the time. I need to buy a new camera for shooting my completed instruments, the shitty Cybershot I use is terrible. Funny thing is though, I get the best results from it with yellow lighting in the dining room  |

| Smith-Victor | FL3 Fluorescent Flood Light with Ceramic | 401020 One or two of these and you're set. They're soft, bright, wide, cool, low wattage, and daylight color temperature. If you're looking for something cheap and almost as good, get a GE 500 watt photoflood bulb, a socket that can handle that wattage, and a large Chinese lantern from Ikea. I know photography  |
