When I was first learning how to play the upright bass many, many years ago, I came across a VHS tape called Slap Bass: The Ungentle Art. That title sure got my attention. You see, most of the time, playing the bass is a pretty nuanced affair, especially in classical settings, but in Rockabilly things can be different, a bit more intense. You'll need to tape up the fingers of your right hand for one thing. Anyway, photographing in harsh sun can be a little bit like playing slap bass. Ungentle, for sure, but still pleasing in the end. Still artful if you do it right.
