Great pics! You must own one of the best cameras available, as well as some of the finest guitars. Someday when I grow up I'm going to get a good camera too, but first I need to get a little (a LOT) more computer savvy.

Thanks. This in my new camera a Sony DSC W210, costs about £130, it's a *SMALL* super compact camera. One day I'll get me a decent camera, i.e. a digital SLR with macro lens, until then I just have to make do with my "toy".

Why YOU! You don't just 'play 'em, you LOVE 'em. That's a seriously pretty guitar made more so with some fantastic photos. You can't take pics that good without loving what makes them that special. These are as nice as any great car/motorcycle/watch/anything-that-has-a-striking-and-intricate-beauty pictures.

Thanks for those.

Who ever said I don't LOVE 'em?!!??! ;)

Yesterday was the first day in about 6 months that I didn't play my 07C - SERIOUSLY!!!

Thanks for the positive feedback, maybe I'll make the calendar again this year, fingers crossed.

Tomorrow I'll try and capture the 99C, it's for the 'bay.

Man, you take the best guitar pictures I've ever seen! :eek: Beautiful guitar too.

My '69 1127 came back from Mother with the gold leaf 'Ovation' on the headstock as well. Such a beautiful touch. I'd be embarassed to submit the photos after yours though.

I seem to remember Damon fell in love with a "flame top" pre SHMBO. Ovations are no longer at the top of his list! :)

We still love ya Damon, where ever you are!!

Iffy, just 3 left...

1763 (or more modern nylon cutaway)
1881 (preferably in teal)
87C-4

...oh and maybe an 1781. Then there's the 1778T Elite Orange Flame for my campfire guitar.

OK so 5 then. I'm pretty sure that's it!

Excellent shots of a STUNNING guitar, Dweez. You don't need a DSLR. The camera you have apparently is quite sufficient. I own three DSLRs (photography is my first love), and it's not really about the camera, but rather the photographer. You've got that part down. Let me know if you ever want to take a good DSLR camera as part of a trade deal! I have a few too many. Again, absolutely fabulous photos! I particularly like the one of the neck and body against the sky. BRAVO! ;)

The patented Dweezil sky shot! I misappropriate the idea at every opportunity.
