p.1 #1 · My new tube amp- Epi So-Cal 50


I got this amp a few weeks back to replace my older head (im only 15 but fly through gear. hahha). I reallllly love this thing. The variety of sounds I can get out this thing is amazing. It takes overdrive pedals really well as well, even on the clean channel. Flip it in to 25w mode and its Class-A too! Of course it weights a TON, but its worth it. Anyways, here are some shots I took probably 20 mins ago. K100D w/ A 50mm f2 or 18-55mm.

The setup shot. Pentax AF360 @ 1/16 power fired into my old macro studio type thing. Worked well to eliminate harsh shadows.

Thanks guys,

Tyler

There's this unwritten rule (netiquette) that says you shouldn't kick your own topic back up the topic list within 24 hours. As such, yes, this is bad. Not the shots, but the kicking.

Personally, I'm simply not excited by the shots. Technically they are fine. (Use of DoF, sharpness, lighting.) Content-wise and composition-wise the series doesn't raise my pulse. It's not bad, it's not great either.

First 2 are the best. nice lighting. Try shots of the back of it - bet there are loads of cool connectors etc.

Tentacle,
Most forums I venture onto, its usually ok to bump a topic after a few hours. I wasnt aware that on FM you were supposed to wait 24hrs. I am sorry for that.Thanks for the comments as well

Merv,
Thanks for the comments. I will try that, too.

Many of us get so excited about the subjects of our photos that we forget that we still have to deliver good composition and everything else that goes into a good photo. Looking at the work by the all-time great art photographers, I get the impression that even the most commonplace, ordinary, unspectacular scene, person or object can make a wonderful photo.
