Hard Rock Cafe

[Grandpaw]

I took this tonight at the Hard Rock in Biloxi Mississippi at 8:10PM . Only one guitar string at a time lights up so I did a 4 second exposure to get all six of them lite up in the picture. All other pictures that I have seen of this guitar only show one string lite up and I have all six, Jeff

Nikon D90

4 sec. exposure

I like this shot Jeff, especially the way you avoided much perspective distortion, great colours and nicely sharp.

Nice shot..

Thanks for taking a look and leaving your comments. If you Google the Hard Rock in Biloxi and search the images you will notice that all of the night shots only have one string lit up. I did the time exposure so I would give my camera time enough to capture all six strings lighting up individually, in the sequence, making the second picture more interesting, Jeff

The first shot was taken at a normal setting and the second was a time exposure. you can look at the difference it makes.

Very nice. I like the technique here for lighting all strings at once, seems simple, yet I know a lot of people wouldn't think to do that.

If the first picture you posted had the parking lot and light post somehow cropped out, and the actual name (Biloxi) somewhere on the building, it could easily be turned into a postcard for the location I think

Wonderful job capturing the strings Jeff. That first pic is a killer of a shot, great color.

Nighttime photography is one of my favorite types of photography and it is very encouraging for me to get so many positive responses to my work. I really enjoy taking pictures at night and look forward to showing you other shots in the future. Thanks to all of you for your nice comments, Jeff
