Many thanks! As for the question you had, Sean, I thought someone might be curious about this. Here is what I did: first, I shot my brackets for the HDR with available light. The resulting HDR would be my base. I then shot another two frames using off camera flash (Nikon SB-900 Speedlight) with an amber gel. I shot one frame with the flash positioned right behind the guitar and facing the back of the guitar at a 45 degree angle; I shot the second frame with the flash positioned behind the speaker. In post processing, I blended the areas of amber glow that I wanted in my final piece into my base HDR with layer masks. Took a little bit of time, but it was worth it, I think! Hey John and Sean!

How did you get the ring of light to look the way it did around the base of the guitar? Beautiful shot! How did you get the ring of light to look the way it did around the base of the guitar?

From the lighting around the guitar to the light leading you to the doorway. I am expecting Clapton or Mark Knopfler to walk through it. Really love this shot.
