It shows a few of my builds and an assortment of electrics I also own (but that I didn't build).
Tell me what you think of the pics I shot of my guitars. All the ones that show the maroon cloth backdrop. I used a little 3mp Fuji for the shots -- the only digital I owned back then. But the reason why they came out as good as they did was I took the pics outdoors in open shade. Open shade minimizes shadows and especially glare. In this case, I set things up under my carport cover.
I don't have any recent pics of my building process. Got some old ones archived somewhere. I've been dealing with health issues recently, which have kept me away from building. Then we moved a year ago. And when we moved, I lost my workshop. I have plans to build another one, but things are going kinda slow and I don't know when I'll finally get started on a new shop.
And just so this post isn't totally off-topic, here's my latest news. I bought a Moskva 5 6x9 folder off eBay and it arrived today. Cosmetically, it shows wear, but everything works the way it should, and I'm really looking forward to working with this large film format.
Mmmm, to be honest I'm not impressed by the pics, but I'm impressed by the guitars! I think you should try to use the Moskva to document the building process, possibly in B&W....on my side I have few pics of a course I've taken for building a baroque recorder in Cambridge last year, but I didn't use a film camera, I was too busy in the process.
However, few pics...Bronica at the Achensee:
