Thanks! That was a reflection on the finish of the Sonus faber Guarneri Evolution. I used an entry-level Canon Rebel T1i with the stock 18-55mm lens. Nothing fancy, and tried to travel light

Any post production on these? If so any tips to pass along?

I'm glad to say we did meet at the Prima Luna room, but Bill was probably one of the busiest persons in the entire fest, so the turntable set-up tips will have to wait. I hope he's getting some well deserved time-off after this past weekend!

Just a slight color-correction using Photoshop CS4, in some cases, and a little saturation increase in others. Most of the images are straight from the camera, but cropped to fit a wider aspect-ratio for a more "panoramic" and dramatic effect. I also added the black borders on Photoshop. My only advise would be to stay away from using the flash and try to take advantage of using natural light, specially when it is being reflected from such beautiful and organic surfaces. All the photos I took are with no flash, and that explains the slight "blurryness" in some of them. Hope that helps!
