Scott, for some reason I hear the theme music from Jaws when I look at your photo!

Charlie - that photo made me think of Old Man Willow that tried to eat the Hobbits in The Fellowship of the Ring!

Yeah, I had to get Tom Bombadil to sing to him before I could get my knife back!

Re: Knife Photography
Incredible shot Hungarian, wow, that one slays. Fabulous. Will that hurt the wood inlays?

Re: Knife Photography
Nah, that Gabon Ebony is dense wood and I just wiped it down after I pulled it out. I bet it sat in the water for 15 minutes while I took my pictures and messed with the camera's settings.Ivoryman wrote:Incredible shot Hungarian, wow, that one slays. Fabulous. Will that hurt the wood inlays?

Re: Knife Photography
Great shots, I love the Skull shot.

Re: Knife Photography
Skull shot is fabulous, so is the Fungus shot Rookie, others great too, but the skull is really cool.
Newest acquisition. The Crown Lifter with EZ open, no bail, no shield, no "Beer Scout Knife" trim package. Just the way I like it. Fine Sheep Foot and bones too.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks guys, when I found that skull back in the woods I knew I had to use it for a shot.
I like your shots on the green moss Ivoryman, it makes for a great backdrop.
Gsmith, I think that picture turned out really nicely. I think I'm going to attempt to make a light box and figure out how to take nice clean shots sometime in the near future.

Re: Knife Photography
Look for one of those pop up cat tents, if you can find one in white or just bleach a colored one to turn it white. Actually that's a good Idea, I'm gonna have to see if I can make one outta a pop up cat house.

Re: Knife Photography
Here's another one I shot for the canoe thread.....more for display than photo originality...

Re: Knife Photography
Change of light and a little Photoshop magic has a dramatic effect.

Re: Knife Photography
Great looking photos from all!!
Speaking of MOP and the right light.....I'd like to think I got the light right on this one. Problem is, I don't know what it was that I did right!
I was using bright white LED lighting but I haven't quite been able to reproduce the effect again. I don't have Photo-Shop so I'm only able to make some minor adjustments. It's another one I shot for the canoe thread a while back.

Re: Knife Photography
Sasquatch, you certainly did catch the right light. 
A world famous photographer once said that the key to having a great reputation as a photographer is simply to show only your best; never release the much larger number of inferior photos.

Good photos here fellows.
Charlie: That MOP Case turned out real good. Of all the handle materials I own, I think that MOP is the hardest to photo just right but it is the very best when I do get it right. And like I said a few pages back, I think that weathered wood is one of the best backgrounds.
Scott: very good photo of that Kershaw with the shavings. And I like the weathered wood background in your photo too.
MH - whatever you did to that photo sure brought out the fire in the handle. Very nice!
