Knife Photography
Re: Knife Photography
Messing around with the camera this morning, finally added a lens hood to it, I think it has helped, exposure seems to be closer to spot on. Had to do very little correction.
Re: Knife Photography
Photos look great, background looks great, exposure great, bone is incredibly fab-uuuuuu-louuuuuuuus! Woweee.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks Dan, got it from Q, he's the guy who finds and scores such first rate knives so he deserves half the credit.

Re: Knife Photography
A picture may be worth 1000 words, but to convey the full extent of such beauty would require an entire gallery of photos...not to mention a library full of thesauruses (thesauri?) So, let me get started with a few that I managed to shoot in the brief seconds during which I was able to force myself to let it go long enough to take a pic or two (or 200!).
This is all thanks to Ivoryman...he found it, he bought it and then, in a supreme gesture of friendship and brotherhood that absolutely boggles the mind, he agreed to trade it to me (for a paltry handful of 'magic beans' and sketchy promises, no less). Wow, What a guy...and what a beautiful knife! You Da Man, Brah. (I'm pinching myself black and blue to be sure I'm not dreaming, this is just too surreal for words.)
For example...right after I snapped this pic...
...a flower blossom fell off an overhanging plant and landed right in the perfect spot for another, even better, photo (notice the few drops of morning dew still on the petal). I could be mistaken, but I have to believe this is nothing less than a blessing from The Universe.
That's going to be a hard one to top, so I'll just show a couple more in different light with different rocky backgrounds that I like.
I realize that this may seem like a bit of overkill, but believe me, it was no easy task choosing just a few from the literally hundreds of photos I ended up taking. But, hey, let's be honest, haven't we all been there and done that...probably more often than we'd care to admit...Thank Heavens for digital photography because in the olden days I surely would have had to spend more on film and processing than on the knives themselves

Not that I'm aware of! Q's full user name is QTCut5.
Q also takes great photos. The flower is indeed a blessing.

Re: Knife Photography
I've said that same thing before and Scott has posted some of the best pictures on AAPK, IMO.
I know how he feels, I published a book of knife pictures but I've given more away than have sold.
Here are a couple of pages from the book.

You post some excellent photos as well, David. I would be interested in getting a copy of that book.

Re: Knife Photography
Very nice photo of that Imperial, Scott.
Regarding the calendar/book market, I have thought many times that some of the photos on this site should be collected into an AAPK calendar. But...even I would not get much use of out one. For many years I would put up a calendar in my man cave every January. About June I would notice that I had not turned a page since January.
