 Most certainly a copy of the famous violin maker's great masterpieces. Since he died in 1745, it is most certain he did not make it.

Painted with light. A handheld flashlight with a hand made 'snoot' to direct the light.

76 second exposure. 50 tries.

I would have moved this image up another point if it hadn't been for the lighting. The shadow on the neck of the violin causes the body and end to lose connectivity and it fades to much into the background. I feel that had you opened up those shadows even a little more, it would have improved the image. I think it really needs the bow in the picture as well, but that's just my opinion. I also suspect that the full size image might show the detail that is lost when sizing for the screen. Nice shot other wise and worth the 8 I gave it.

Hey that looks very similar to my daughter's violin! I had taken a still life of it too for this challenge but decided on another shot. You have captured it beautifully and I love the placement and lighting. This is a classic still life and well done...9

We've always wondered about the history of ours. Is yours made by Joseph Guarnerius? Perhaps ours is too???? What is on the back of yours?
