Some sexy speakers

[Hamish Gill]

We are doing a website and photography for the manufacturer of these sexy things ...
This is the fruits of my labour this avo ...
The main light was a beauty dish with a set of barn doors on them, then used a second very diffused light with an umbrella ... what do you think?


Speakers by Hamish_Gill, on Flickr

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very sexy. Would love to hear my new album through them!

 

[Hamish Gill]

... I didn't even get to hear them

 

[Craig Sperring]

They don't look cheap!

 

[Paul Lange]

Very nice and classy image Hamish. I guess they are TL or 1/4 wave or something like that, the main driver looks a little small.

 

[Stephen Baker]

The image works for me, infact I would quite like to be listening to a bit of pink floyd through them, but they look a bit expensive for me..

 

[Hamish Gill]

They are frugal 3's by design

They aren't too expensive ... Sub £1k in the top of the range format these are in ...

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

... what do you think?

I think the photo is atmospheric ... just looking at the photo i can imagine John Tavener listening to classical choral on them, or Herbie Hancock listening to Miles Davis.

 

[Brian Moore]

Its a fine shot, Hamish. If I see that image in a glossy mag I will think, "that fotie was took by a pro!"

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Darkly sexy Hamish - love the texture on the black panels and the glow of the copper sections

How would you feel about moving the rear one over a little, so we can see both side trim pieces?

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nicely done Hamish and, as Chris says, the glow on the cone and the texture of the fascia really works well. Not sure about moving the second speaker more into view though. If anything, I'd be tempted to drop it a touch out of focus. And maybe tame the highlighted edge of the base a tiny, tiny bit - I keep looking down at it.

Cheers Brian, reassuring

I did try it, it didn't work out ... final usage case for the image makes it too wide too...

It is a touch out of focus, it might well go a touch more if the end product requires it .. ill show you when its done if you like
Used your lens ... so cheers for that

 

[Beth Carter]
