There have been many guitar shots before, there will be many after, but this is mine.
Photographed using an Oppo X5 phone. I focus stacked 36 images to make the space as clear as possible, and to give the photo a sense of space.
Normally I'd use a big camera with some fancy probe lenses for photographing inside instruments, but I haven't found a good way to do that in a guitar which has no access at the base, so I tried the phone instead.
It's not perfect - there's a bit of noise and the lens can't focus as close as I'd like, but at least it got me in there!
Shot in Oppo's "RAW +"
Phone tethered wirelessly to Desktop and controlled using AirDroid
100 ISO
36 x 2 second exposures plus 2 more for the "Smoke" (water vapour)

For some reason, this reminded me of the opening sequence of the movie Tenet, where the action takes place in a sleek modern concert hall.
