This is just a view of the top of my violin. I've had this instrument since 1990. I love it and it is one of my most valuable assets. I was a violin perfomance major in undergrad and I have a masters in music as well. Currently, I use this violin to play in a rock band. I enjoy playing all sorts of music, but mostly, I like Classical the best, as it is how I was originally trained. This is the "player's view." I used a Canon Power Shot A530 Camera. It has a zoom lens, 4X and 5.0 megapixels. It is very easy to use, even for a novice like me. I love to take pictures with it and experiment with different settings on it. Close up! This one was taken on the Manual setting. I like the background behind the violin in this one. This one was taken on Auto setting.

This is a picture of my violin that got a little too much light, but I still kind of like it. I'm pretty sure I used a manual setting to get this strange light effect.
