 A real vintage analog synth. It is a workhorse in my music studio.

Set up 2 lights, 1 with blue paper covering the lamp, and another with red. Simple and effective.

Hey, what can I say? Personally, I like the shot. I agree that its dark, and I'd be happier if I could have had more time to work on it. Here is the deal. The synth was made in 1981, and I didn't want some nit picky, anal retentive DP user to get all up in arms over the synth used in the shot. The concept of analog synthesizer is very 70's, and I thought I submitted a good idea, regardless of the make and model of the synth used. That is why its dark, so people don't see that its a Korg Trident. And, by the way, to the people that did vote a 10, I appreciate your kindness, and thank you.

Clever reminder that life was not always digital. Imaginative lighting, but still a bit dark.

Very Dark, a little too much so and could use a main point of focus

Nicely cropped. I would have liked it a little bit lighter.

dark and hard to get the idea of the 70s from just seeing the image. Nice angle on it though.

Good shot but too obscure for the general public. The lighting definitely provides the flavor of concert music in the 70's.

I like the red reflections, but I think it would have been better with if you'd cropped the all red keys in the back.
