Re: Knife Photography
That's what me thinks Gary.
I'm not into these RR's, but I can see the thinking behind them. This is exactly how they're supposed to be displayed/photographed/collected.
Lovely set, and setup OF.

Re: Knife Photography
This is from an experiment using different lighting and equipment from my normal knife picture set up. I had a long telephoto lens on my camera because I was trying to take pictures of the Jupiter & Saturn convergence. Pearl is a challenge for me to photograph so I had the knife on a shiny marble counter top to see if I could better capture the fire in the pearl.
The first photo is with the real background and in the second photo I replaced the background and kept the reflection.
The 3rd photo is with a mobile phone camera under regular ceiling incandescent lights with the knife angled in a way that shows more fire in the pearl.

Re: Knife Photography
Great photos, Jerry. You captured the hard to capture irradiance in the handles.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks jmh, appreciate it.
Zed, great shot with the fungi, like those.
Ralph that's great reflection and effect from the marble. Beautiful, as is the knife too.

Re: Knife Photography
Ralph, If you captured any more fire in the bottom shot your phone would have melted. That is a great MOP shot.

Re: Knife Photography
Yes sir mate, probably the best pictures of mop, if not the best.
Be proud Jerry, you've reached the pinnacle of knife photography.

Re: Knife Photography
Couple pieces of tusk for these, thousands of years apart, not a whole lot of difference in color when you see them. Slightly more beige on the Mammoth and little whiter in the Elephant. Very close though and if they aren't together very tough to tell the difference.
