Not really something new exept that I bought a good spotlight zo I can see where I'm cueing. And I found a yellow transparent Cranberries album that made it look pretty stunning.

The trick is:
bright spotlight
right angle so you obscure unnecessary distracting objects like the arm
don't be afraid to photograph at an angle to make the right composition
use your zoom
play with the right color correction on your camera
focus on the right distance

This was only the second and last shot.

No doubt...the importance of wet-vacuum cleaning your records cannot be overstated.

I'm surprised what shows up on brand new discs.  Really surprised.  They need a good cleaning.
 
I've now entered a new world of keeping my records clean.  And I thought I was bad before...

Not cool dude, not cool. Get out of the house much? :rolleyes:

I think non-natural materials on the the floor and your shoes/socks are more of an issue, so is dry air. When it's a cold dry winter you can make miniature lightning-bolts near the xerox machine or the door-knob (remember the movie office space?).

And Permostat is the solution. It costs about $1 per album but its worth it.

It's 67 degrees and 60 percent humidity in here, not bad.  
 
Around album 32 I noted that things are sounding really good now.  I've read the Grado takes a little while to open up.  I think it did.
 
Prepared to fire up Mastodon's Blood Mountain!
