"Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?" - Nigel

    For the "Loud" Theme Competition.

    Shot using a tripod and a zoom lens (I don't own a macro yet). I used sandpaper on the knob to give it texture and clean off some ugly mottled defects. Natural light with a white piece of paper to reflect light back into the shadow cast by the knob. Used GIMP (clone tool) to move the word MAX and color the last dot red. Entirely too much work for such a silly photo. :-)

      The most perfect title ever. When I saw this picture before the title was up, that scene was exactly what I thought about.
