This Gretsch Bigsby is a fine guitar. It belongs to a friend. He plays guitar. We shot a lot of indoor pictures of it. They didn't do the Gretsch Bigsby just course. So he said: "lets take the Gretsch outside, but ill be really sad if my Gretsch ends up in the water!". As we where shooting the sky changed and became dramatic.

Finally your site is up again so I can get some inspiration

This is a real cool taken picture, maybe it is just me but I think I would have corrected the horizont since it is an important element in the picture

Thanks Morten. It has taken me a couple of months to get this site up and running again but now that it is, im very happy with it. With regards to your comment: I really thought a lot about the composition. All the lines are running towards the guitar. From left to right and therefor i placed the guitar on the right. Yes, there’s a small tilt in the horizon, but thats intentionally :) i aligned the shot against the white just under the sky.

Okey, then it is just me :-) just feel like I´m about to fall when I stir at the picture… need a pill…. :-)

But seems you have thought a lot about this picture… anyway it is great shot

Ok … I may be missing the subject entirely … but … what an amazing sky!

Nice To know that rock is not dead. Nice sky, how ever I think if you had the guitar stand fully in the frame it would have been excellent, and also the whole image needs a bit of rotation to the right. Do you use photoshop tp make ur photos so gloomy?
