I had a chance to visit Kamimoto Strings in San Jose's Japantown yesterday. One of the interns on the Web team at SCU works there part-time. She showed the owners my portfolio and they were curious about how I might shoot their shop. I spent about an hour shooting around the shop with the TtV rig, the Lensbaby Composer/Sweet 35 combo, the GF1 and Pinwide, and the E-PL3 with the Oly 17mm 2.8 and Panny 7-14mm f4. I took a few iPhone shots, too. They were pretty busy, and I tried not to get in the way, but I think I captured the essence of their business...
This is Richie form Bitter Strings playing at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, they were the support band for big country.
I am excited to tell you that I was awarded "silver" at the Photography Group of Bunbury January exhibition with my photo of piano strings. Subject was "man made - macro or close up"
I took this with my go everywhere camera in the Bunbury Art Gallery. The piano was standing near the window and I saw the wonderful light coming through onto the strings - so snapped a couple of pics. This was one of them. Slightly enhanced in Rad-Lab.

My best attempt to take a creative shot of my bass guitar with my new speedlites and wescott boxes. As you can see, the guitar's gone unused for a while...
Side lighting, point of interest and contrast of colour against black. Theme is to represent the feel of how acoustic guitars sound visually rather than in stereo.
Title of photo: Strings
Objective 2: Creative Exposure
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: P, chosen at this time due to the fact that we had not completely gone over other modes.
f stop used: 9.0
shutter speed used: 1/200
ISO used: 200
Exposure compensation: 0EV
Focal length: 18mm
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
The principles of design demonstrated: Unity, balance, contrast
The elements of design demonstrated: Form, Shape, Space, Value/Tone
Objective 4: Lighting
Type of lighting: Diagonal semi-diffused lighting
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
Corrections/adjustments made: Curves/contrast upped to make the wood on the guitar more textured and vibrant, showing shadows and the reflection on the surface more vividly-- Fully blacked out the background so the background wouldn't take away from the vibrant guitar, washed out slightly to diffuse the darkness of the black so it wouldn't overpower the guitar's colour, unsharp mask to help make details (such as guitar strings) appear more crisp
Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.)
Type/style of photography: Still life,
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: P-- wasn't taught the other modes at this particular time, although having the automatic setting helped keep the guitar in the main focus which was difficult to achieve at this time with any other setting
f stop used: 9.0
shutter speed used: 1/200

Durga Puja in Kolkata
I took this picture in a Puja Pandal in Central Kolkata. The pandal was mostly made of strings and the base material other than string was plaster.
Here I tried to frame the face of the idol through the strings...trying to experiment with framing & DOF.

Strings of Christmas lights hanging from trees on the Boston Common, with the steeple of the Park Street Church rising in the background.
I did a photo-shoot for DR Strings a week ago to help them introduce their new and amazing guitar and base strings. These strings are very cool. I posted my 5 favorite photographs from that shoot.
