gorch Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Tremendous! Although another headless portrait youtube video, the camera angle is perfect. It's focus to the essence is just right.Another proof of TMB's exceptional skills!
coolfeel Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Sumthin bout them Carolina boys - they know how to throw down.
kevinbower1959 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Killer tone, loved it It just goes to show (as if anyone on here needed reminding) that there's not much a Hamer won't do. Great job mate.
Disturber Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 That was fun to watch. Nice Hamer too, is that an original finish. Like it.
Jeff R Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Tore that shit up like a snake in a bushhog. Very nice!
specialk Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Sumthin bout them Carolina boys - they know how to throw down. +1. How'd they ever lose the war?
zenmindbeginner Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 You guys are too kind... really. I've mentioned this before but, I took 1998-2008 off and stopped playing guitar through those years for a variety of reasons... it was a horrible idea. Because when I started to practice again in 2008, I was soooo rusty and pathetic, I couldn't play much. It's taken my two long years to get pretty much back up to speed and I've spent the last year sort of picking up where I left off in 1998. Again, I don't really know how to thank y'all, especially to cspot for picking this up. It means a lot to me dude. Thanx guys Tremendous! Although another headless portrait youtube video, the camera angle is perfect. It's focus to the essence is just right.Another proof of ZMB's exceptional skills! OMG, the camera was like 9 inches off of the floor, I originally wanted to do a sort of intense vanishing perspective with my right hand close to the camera and the left hand further away. When I would focus on the left hand the right hand got blurry and sort of distracting and when I focused on the right hand, it looked weird. I was using a 50mm prime lens to get a shallow depth of field. in the end, the effect was rather subtle since I repositioned myself to plant my feet quickly after running to the stereo and pressing play on my iPod and it ended up being sort of straight on. I don't practice sitting down, I like to move around and it was a bitch to stay planted to stay in the frame... I was watching the LCD screen while I was playing to sort of stay in the frame. I still wandered out of the frame from time to time. My face is scary plain and simple... I look like Eddie Izzard crossed with a pitbull, a face only a mother could love. I did everyone a favor. lolz! That's me in my avatar about 20 lbs thinner than I am right now... my traps are waaay bigger now. lol! Sumthin bout them Carolina boys - they know how to throw down. I'm actually a transplant carpetbagger from of all places... Arlington Heights, Illinois home of the original Hamer factory. I roamed the streets of Arlington Heights/Mt. Prospect/Elk Grove/Des Plaines/Rolling Meadows causing havoc as a child and teenager. I was headed for a life of crime even though those areas are fairly pastoral and safe. I hung out with the worst of kids... criminals, thugs, scammers. I moved to NC when I was 15... but in NC's defense, I have lived here longer than I lived in the Chicago area, so I am more a North Carolinian than I am a Chicagoan. That was fun to watch. Nice Hamer too, is that an original finish. Like it. It was the granite crackle black and white whatever you call it and it was stripped to the bare alder and stained with a mahogany oil based stain. It has the thinnest of nitro coats on top over it... not the prettiest of finishes, but a sort of interesting one since it sort of matches the Pau Ferro fretboards hue. Sumthin bout them Carolina boys - they know how to throw down. +1. How'd they ever lose the war? My great great great grandfather Wesley Waldron was in the Indiana 101st Infantry (Persimmon brigade) and marched with Sherman all the way to Goldsboro North Carolina. He fought in the battle of Bentonville as well as every battle in the Carolina campaign. I am union blue through and through. The brave men of North Carolina are another matter and I regrettably can't claim any of their achievements or glory since I am a descendant of a union soldier. True Southerners sense it when I meet them. Yes, I'm still angry at them for leaving the Union and I'll probably never forgive them for the destruction that they caused. I got a problem with the descendants of wealthy planters not with the brave descendants of the insanely good Confederate army that was America's most worthy adversary. I love the south... you just can't compare Pittsburgh to New Orleans or Newark to Charleston. lol!
