Cool headstock photo

[Demetrius]

Hey all,

I took this shot of my headstock with this sweet filter and it reminded me of an ad or something. I absolutely love this photo and figured I'd share it with you all... feel free to post your own filtered or unfiltered headstock pictures...

Beautiful.

[Al Trujillo]

Sweet! What type of filter was this?

[Cheryl Watson]

Very nice, looks like an antique or sepia kind of filter.

[Demetrius]

It was actually just an Instagram filter called "Mayfair" but I have to say it's a really nice one.
This was the unfiltered shot which looks nice but it'll give you a good idea of how much warmth and richness the filter added.

Nicely done ... in my days of printing there was a Kodak paper named portralure that gave this effect....R/

I like messing around in Photoshop especially fitting mandolins in various locations.

Great photo. I like the Instagram filters, but I've gotten to where I use the ones that come standard on my iPhone more than anything these days, especially for black and white stuff.

Nice filter Demetrius

This is a photo of my headstock that I like. It was taken using portrait mode on my phone. It's an artificial depth of field effect available on certain iPhones.

Many thanks to Brett Byers for this cool looking burst.

Wow! Not only a great picture but also one of my favorite mandolin makes ever.
I've got my eye on one currently...

I like inlay!



P.s. Any pointers for attaching images with iPad...? My thumbnails are sideways, first expanded image is wonky, open in separate page its fine?

Hello Demetrius, that is the headstock of my Paul Shippey A5. Paul is a luthier in Somerset in England. I had the mandolin made for my fiftieth birthday. Paul was a fantastic guy to deal with, his website can be found here.

Here's one I whipped up that keeps to the peghead theme. I used a posterizing filter on it to make it cartoonish.

Here's my Weber "Fern" headstock - i really like Bruce Weber's ''alternative take'' on the Fern inlay,

OK, I'll give it a shot. Here's my Ellis F5 peghead, filtered with some antiquing, film effect, and other random filters.

Here's a close-up of the beautiful headstock of Pomeroy #8, by Don Paine of Glenwood Springs, CO. It shows a hummingbird hovering over two flowers, in mother-of-pearl, abalone, and burl. Pretty hard to top this, in my jaded opinion! (In later Pomeroys, the headstock carried the Pomeroy logo, but in his earlier models, Don used the space for pure art. I wish more makers would do that.)
