Acoustic Bass


While a band was setting up, preparing to play durng lunchtime in a square in Savannah, I asked if I could photograph their instruments on stage.
I got this shot of the fret board of a acoustic bass guitar with a 50 mm prime lens stopped down to f/1.4, shooting at close range in open shade.
I like the soft light, the crossing diagonal lines, the graceful, implied S-curve, the sharp focus on the strings and fretboard, and the narrow depth of field that helped blur the background.
