Wonderful macro Donell. Makes me want to pick up mine:)
Donell Trostrud replied

Thanks Robert! I wish I could play. This is my son’s guitar. I only have a photographic relationship with the guitar.

Fantastic!
Shelly Hiebert

I just tried this with my husbands guitar a couple of weeks ago but did not have results like this. This is perfect Donell!
Donell Trostrud replied

Thanks Shelly, I tried this a couple times before too (it’s my son’s guitar), but each time I did it you could see so much dust in the macro shot. So when he left for school this morning I cleaned it up real good and had another go at it!
Vikram Franklin

The lighting is perfect. for this shot as is the camera angle. I really need to learn camera tilts from you. Love this shot.
Donell Trostrud replied

Thanks Vikram! Step one – tilt your camera. Step two – push the shutter release. Have fun :-)

Vikram Franklin

Thanks Donell – now got that on a post it stuck to the back of my camera :-)
Lorraine Creagh

Great shot. This is perfect.

due to the depth of field, the strings look as if they are vibrating with music… wonderful picture
Donell Trostrud replied

Hey Jim, that’s a great observation – I hadn’t looked at it like that before. Thanks for the comment!
Mark Cosgriff

wow. excellent shot. i tried to do a shot very similar to this a few months ago but it hardly compares. well done.
Hena Tayeb

Taylor Sawyer

Congrats! I chose this photo as an honorable mention for Photography 101’s “Open Aperture”! It will be featured with the rest of the works that placed!
Donell Trostrud replied

Thanks Taylor!!!
Pamela Jayne S...

wow! It took me a while to see what it is – it is really fab, I wish Hubby would clean up his instruments!
Donell Trostrud replied

Thanks Pamela. I had to clean this over and over because the macro lens picked up things I couldn’t see with just my eye. This part of the guitar was so clean afterwards, and the rest – not so much!
Rachel Stickney

Wow! This is great! I didn’t know what it was till I read the comments. Excellent macro! I’m hoping to get a macro lens for Christmas!
GerryMac
