Ah. I love playing the violin haha

Quoting Sock Lady:" I wish I still had my guitar!! It got stolen when we moved.   I still have my piano though, and I play it everyday!"

Yeah DH lets it collect dust. He just plays video games now.

Thanks  

Quoting Mrs.Dani:" Soory this will be pic overload... Which do you like best? These are all SOOC: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (this was going to be a silhouette) 8 9 "

I like 2nd & 3rd the best   I liked 4 when I first looked, but then I decided I like the other two better because you can him playing the whole thing.

I have a couple questions.
I took this photo a couple days ago kind of on a whim with my 50 mm 1.8 lens. I was backed up as far as I could go against the couch without moving & distracting her so my crop is really tight & awful.& There's some weirdness going on with the headband. I'm assuming I should raise my aperture to fix the DOF there. What else could I do to improve? I think I'm getting better at pinpointing what I'm doing wrong but I'd still really appreciate CC.

Also, what lens would I want to get if I wanted to be able to take that same photo from the same place I was at but not have such a tight crop? I have such a hard time getting her into the frame at home because we're kind of cramped up in her play area, lol.

Pulling from facebook.

Okay I narrowed it down to these two.. which do you like and color or B&W?


I am leaning towards the first one.

I really like the first set. I don't have a preference to b&w or color, I like them both!

I'm actually liking the B&W.

I like bw for the first and color for the second but the shiny wwhammy bar is really distracting to me in the first.

Stupid phone

I didn't even notice it...   I would clone it out but DH kicked me off already.

No sad face!   It's not that big of a deal it's just what jumped out at me.
Looking at the two now, I think I like the first set more because you can see the whole guitar.

Oh, and I saw this the other day. Pretty neat. It's a guitar string under an electron microscope!
