I finally got a decent digital SLR camera – a Nikon D40 – last night. Surprised my son who’s studying digital media with a Nikon D90 and traded him cameras. What a difference a great camera a lens makes with respect to picture quality. For all these pictures, I used a special f1.8 50mm lens that has no zoom, and with the D40 at least, requires manual focus. But the pictures that lens produces are incredible. And even though I was indoors, I didn’t use a flash, as the lens uses the available light. So nice. In any case, enjoy! Click on any picture to get an enlarged view.
Beautiful guitar! I have an Epiphone Dot in natural finish that looks similar, but not as nice.
I think 1/30 shutter speed was just a tad too slow if you held the camera in your hand, but otherwise nice pics.
