Made this photo at home, looking at the guitar hanging on the wall next to me...Time
Photo was made on 10-Mar-21 @ 14:19:08Lighting
This is what the camera thought would be correct: Shutter Speed: 1/50 sec, f/4, ISO 800, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash on Auto; Did not fire, Focal Length: 16.21 mm, and White Balance set on Auto... that's it.Equipment
The camera was a SONY DSC-RX100M7, shot out of hand with no add-ons. The guitar is hanging on the wall next to where I usually sit, so... it really can't be simpler than that. :)Inspiration
A musical instrument that can't be used is a sad sight - and this one is way beyond both use and repair. I used to play a little (more familiar with the bass guitar, but nevertheless...) but this particular guitar serves only as the remainder of my father-in-law who owned it long time ago. Yes, it does nothing but dust gathering, but it's at least a memory and a conversation piece.Editing
I cropped the original image somewhat and turned it 90 deg clockwise, since there is no background to observe... And this is all that had to be done.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. My tripod has its permanent place in the car. The vest pockets usually contain two cameras. One of those is always waterproof. Sometimes I'll add a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. Other pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important aspects!Feedback
Sometimes, something interesting can be found within one meter distance from you... :)
