Musical Buttons

My wife found some guitar-shaped wooden buttons in a charity and got them for me to photograph. I think they look pretty good with the sheet music as a background.

Taken indoors, in natural light.

Top clarity there Keith,.. can see the texture in the sheet material,.. the 1 sec exposure is interesting,.. I had piano lessons as a 'yoof' and the selection in view there looks pretty complicated //
Keep well and Cheers'' from Dj.

Keith Burton replied to David G Johnson:

Thanks very much David..........very kind comments as always. Glad you enjoyed this one.

As for the 1sec exposure.......the light from the window wasn't brilliant and I didn't want to use flash or the room lights........so I just wacked up the exposure to get the effect I wanted. I used a tripod and the camera shutter was set to a 12 sec delay to avoid any movement.

What a fun find! The sheet music is the perfect background for this colourful arrangement! As a teenager I' have been very keen on such such buttons;-)

Glad you approve Gudrun...........I like to play around with stuff like this, especially when the weather is not so good.

I can almost picture you wearing a cardigan with these buttons running down the front. (see my reply to Rosa) :-)))

Thank you so much vero...........I'm pleased you approve!

My wife quite often finds things for me to photograph. I keep it in a "props" box until I figure out what to do with it.
