Finally got a good pic of my Les Paul

[Teledriver]

** This may be a non-excitable thread, but I just had to show pride in my Number 1 being finally shot as it really is.
I've tried a Kodak Digital camera ($100 at Walgreens many years ago), I've tried a cell phone, I've tried a smartphone (Apple 7+), but I think I finally got a decent pic of my Les Paul through my Lenovo tablet, bought a year ago.

I think the last one the Lenovo tablet pic, is where my Les Paul is at.
I didn't have to mess with color or contrast or exposure or balance or anything in Photoshop with the Lenovo shot. The shot is just a 60 old-fashioned bulb under a beige lamp shade about 10 feet away, and a LED desk lamp sitting on my computer chair point up towards it.

Thanks. That's a beaut! Nice example of a Les Paul. I love the subtle, understated grain of the top. Too much flame has never been something I go for.

I think you figured out how to get the lighting just right to capture the wood grain for that last photo!

B e a u t i f u l !

Cool! All vastly different lighting conditions. The 3rd pic has a high aesthetic aspect bordering on the theatrical(cause of the dramatic one spot lightning). It totally removes the gloss made apparent with the 2nd pic, so still unsure which is the real LP.
The 1st pic sits somewhere in between but had to be doctored a bit for overexposure.
I just did this on an iphone7 and is probably the pic I want to see in a for sale ad.

I like the decent figuring in the grain. Very tasty.
