Day 499, A bit of fluff


Who would have thought that poking a phone camera inside a guitar would be so tricky.

It didn't appear to be problematic at first.*

I put the phone inside the body and took a few pics.

However...

Due to a bug with the Nexus 4 camera the flash doesn't always sync correctly unless focus has been achieved.**

If very dark it is not possible to focus.

And triple jointed 30cm pencil-thin fingers are needed to focus in this arrangement.

The results were either completely dark or out of focus images.

From outside the problem went away.

Here bracing is visible as well as part of the kerfed side.

That's the technical stuff over with.

It looks very woody.

And I've got blisters on my fingers.***

Fluff?****


* The traditional problem here should have been losing the phone inside, but oh no, this is less exciting than that.
** Google acknowledge the bug here, downgrade to the previous camera version (2.4.018 (1836172-30)) to fix it.
*** This is perfectly normal for guitar wranglers, strictly speaking they are callouses, It was Ringo that had the blisters. 
**** Yes, there was a small amount of fluff in there in the opposite direction to the camera.
