Guitar Diptych
My first diptych! Woot. I really never heard of this before the project idea.. did some internet searching to get a clue (and coyly awaited to see what was put up here too)... Decided I'd try contrasting perspectives of an object.I think the diptych is a powerful technique. Seemingly simple, but so tricky to do right, right? I think I need more attempts, and try this project idea again this month and explore some more ways to use it.

Really nice idea, Lea. Yes, it seems simple, yet it can be a challenge to figure out how to take advantage of the technique. That's why it's so fun, it makes you think, and it also makes the viewer think, interpret, and guess your intent.

btw, I also like the neutral shades of brown in the shots.

Great Diptych Lea, and you actually are creating a triptych from Warren's post below. Now that is taking it to the next level. In fact maybe we should consider that for a project. Create diptychs from existing posts. You can take credit for starting it Lea, yea.

Hey, really, really nice, Lea!! Good on ya - I'm drawing a blank for now ;-) Hope I come up with something before the end of the month.
Thanks everyone!
Warren -I do like how these projects make me think more about what I am shooting. Happy to be a part of it here!
Dan -Good triptych observation! I think that next level step would be credited to you.
Steve -I am sure you'll discover some good ones; looking forward to seeing them too!
Lea, these are nice images of a very nice guitar. I've always wondered the best way to get a whole guitar in one photo, as shooting them straight on, the body gets so small because of the neck. Nice photos, interesting to see on an ipod too, where you can rotate them and have the aspect ratio changed (but they get cropped in the wrong views too).
Thanks Ted! :)
Lea,
This very nice and presents the Martin really nice. BTY that is a really great guitar. Is that you Martin? The picture with the lines from the strings, and the grain in the wood really works and makes you eye follow down the neck.

Thx Dolph, yea it's my Martin :)
That is a really nice guitar! I have the budget D-15 mahogany (dreadnaught), are those the stock tuners, or did you upgrade? Do you use a pickup?
thanks Ted, it's a treat to play this one. no upgrades, no pick ups, and those are the original tuners it came with.
I'd love to hear you play it. Is it a D-28?
