Recently I started playing with an idea for a friend of mine that wanted a close up photo of a guitar.  They were asking me if I could take one that would show the guitar in a creative way.  I started tossing the idea around and decided I would light paint the photo in a dark room to try and give it the feel that I was thinking of.  This worked out great, the only problem was I kept coming up with more ideas with each new photo that was taken.  The one below you see the red laser pointer that I ran down the strings while the shutter was open.  It is quite hard to get it strait, but I think this gave it a cool effect.  I will post a few of my favorite below, let me know what you think.

The two below you see the glow around the outside of the image, if you are wondering how that was done, all I did was take a mini mag light and place my thumb over the light, this creates a red glow through your thumb.  I then just kept a constant motion of light with my thumb over it and created the glow/smoke looking light you see around the guitar.

Wow, what a trip!!  The Dominican Republic was BEAUTIFUL!!!  Although I wish I could have stayed longer, and the sunrises were amazing, it just gives me something to look forward to next time!  If you would like to see some pictures of my trip just click on the Event Photos link at the top of this [...]
