Location:

Studio

Equipment:

Mamiya 645, Extension Tube No 2, llford Pan F Plus

Format:

12"x16" Ilford Warmtone Multigrade

Notes:

This print is a close up of the heart of the classical guitar, it shows the four elemants that create the sound, the neck, the strings, the body and the sound hole. The sound hole is burnt out to full black which signifies the mystery of the three elements crossing plus the forth magical element which produces the music.

I used Iford Pan F film for the fine grain and although I used an extension tube for close up work, the focal plane of the camera was parallel to the plane of the guitar face which allowed me to put all of the picture in sharp focus using an F22 setting. The print is presented on glossy multi grade paper which gives the pin sharp print quality.
