What is the proper way to shoot really good photo's of a guitar? I get a lot of glare from the flash, especially on the end plates and bright work.
Is it better to shoot with seperate lighting such as indirect or spotlights. I like to shoot outside but winter is upon us here in the hinterlands. Any help would be appreciated.

Try turning off the flash... even if inside. |

Hey Bud!
Sadly this is getting to be the wrong time of year up in MI for shooting pix outside. But natural, existing light is the best. Are you up by Traverse City or down south for the winter?
all the best,

When using a camera-mounted flash, just make sure the whole subject (your steel) is angled so that no reflective part is parallel to the camera lens. This should prevent any flash glare. |

Thanks for the tips. I will give it a try.
Drew, I am living in Petoskey now. So it will be a long cold winter
