Good luck Tom and importantly have fun... I forgot to mention and RalphAlsip (Jerry) posted some fine reading and info as well as referring to F-stops but depth of field is no doubt important for sharp photos (personally I use an F-stop of around 8 in my setup - I do believe the larger the F-stop the greater the depth of field..bestgear wrote:Thanks Kris and Lee - looks like some experimentation is in order along with some lighting upgrades. I'll report back when I've come up with a better mousetrap.

Re: Knife Photography
Ditto what doglegg said. It is interesting how the color red can make a photo "pop." Photographers for National Geographic magazine were well known for carrying a supply of cheap red scarves. When shooting scenes of large crowds they would have one or two people wear the red cloth. From Bangladesh, to Rio, to Sweden, those red scarves would turn up in the magazine.
