Chrome plate
#1

Advice please. How to photo a chrome plate with engraving on it?

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

Just a thought John but would a circular polarizer take out the refelections.

RAW to the core.

Here is the result of my "chrome plate" image. It is the "maker's" plate from the first guitar I built. It was a bit big to put in the fridge (plus guitars don't like the cold), so I thought about Ed's outdoor option. What I ended up doing was using bounced flash below a white ceiling. I think it ended up fine, certainly as well as I had hoped for.

   
Nikon D80, external bounced flash, 1/100 sec, f5.6, ISO100, 202mm lens equivalent.

Looks fine, I envisaged a cup or a bowl, or similar. Ed.

A very nice picture, and beautiful wood grain on that 'Tele'. Talking of the wood, obviously a Maple neck but, maybe a 'Light Swamp Ash' body?

Regards.
