Indoors Surface To Air Cutlery Pictures. Why?

[New_Windsor_NY]

I'm just curious. What is the reasoning or logic behind holding a sharp piece of cutlery in the air,
indoors, hopefully NOT directly above your head, to photograph it? What am I missing? I've seen many
examples of this and I just don't get it. This is NOT a criticism of anyone.

Probably just using their webcam to take the picture

Probably.....

That's a possibility. But I've seen some pictures on eBay and other sites involving knives, where you can see part of a hand or a part of a finger, holding the camera, in the picture. My curiosity is more about, why a "looking up" picture, than how the picture was taken. Do you have an interesting ceiling? Do you want to become a "hand model?" I can see if the picture is taken outside. Holding a knife up, with the sky, trees, whatever as a background, very nice. But indoors, again, just a minor curiosity. If this starts a bunch of b.s., that wasn't my intention.

So, you are asking why "surface to air" handheld cutlery pictures as opposed to "air to surface" footheld cutlery pictures, right?

Sorry, Skip, I guess I have no answer to that one.

So.....

So Ike....you want to be a foot model.

I agree with scoutknives. People using a web cam or laptop cam and holding it up to get more light for focus, or up to a lighter background.

Using the webcam to take a picture, and probably don't want their mug shot in the frame.
Better than a lot of the still photography out there . . .

In my case, the Canon DSLR camera is mounted in a copy stand facing down with the distance fixed above the table for shooting the complete knife with blades open. If I want to take a macro closeup of the tang stamp, I hold it in hand up closer to the camera. Just my method.

Is this is going to start a trend of people doing this on eBay & the AAPK store? I'll admit. If I'd seen it on eBay, I'd click ... if on the AAPK store, probably start on a policy update

marco does this on his comfort knives thread using his laptop camera and his photos usually look great.

Thanks for the plug Nick, but believe me I'd much rather use a mobile phone camera and not have my beat up fingers in every shot, problem is I don't have any other use for a mobile phone.

I think your pictures are fine.....just someone being anal.
