A photo I'm proud of....

This quick post is just to show a photo I've taken this week whilst working through the exercises on light..... It's one I am really pleased with;

My  1980's Tokai Stratocaster

I laid my guitar on the bed and the low sun in the sky just broke through the clouds to throw across some natural light. Using my Nikon D80 with it's Nikon DX 18-80mm lens on it's maximum aperture f5.6 I managed to get a narrow depth of field and capture sharp detail in the vertical centre of the frame ; the bridge, tone control and the leather texture of my old strap. The photo looks so monochrome but woody, detailed and yet abstract.... it's my favourite picture of 2014 so far.
