Knife Photography

[orvet]

...i am constantly amazed and envious of the quality of the photos posted on this website...but, being a "relic", i just can't put my old Argus C-3(had it for 55 yrs.-light meter still works) and Ektachrome away!!.....all this modern technology blows me away!!.....my I-pad is a yellow legal pad and a #2 eagle pencil!!..........great photographs, guys!!!!............... ..................

John,
Once you make that change you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner!
For $100-$150 (probably for a lot less) you can buy a camera that all you have to do is hold it steady and click the button.
Then you just download the pics and print the ones you like.
Plus you can crop, expand the image, shrink the image, take out red-eye, make the focus better and all that stuff with the most basic photo software, usually included with the camera.

It is so simple I can do it & I knew next to nothing about photography when I started, (I still don't know much about it now), but I can take the pictures without paying for film, developing, cropping or anything else!

Digital photography is a quantum leap or two ahead of film.

[Just Plain Dave]

I would TOTALLY agree with the Quantum Leap comment!
And it was at least as big of a leap when I went from a Sony Floppy Disk camera to the Nikon Coolpix P60 I have now!

Dale, took me less than a day to realize I
needed a tripod for the hold it steady part.
Leastaways I can still click the button.
The wish I had done it sooner certainly applies.

Here a few from the 'doubles' album

Digital photography is a quantum leap or two ahead of film.

The best part is the learning process is painless. You can practice all day long and into next week and after you buy the camera, it doesn't cost you a dime.

No trips to the drug store or Walmart to buy more film because you just ran out and you really want to get this event recorded in pictures. No schlepping the film off to get it developed and wondering if your pictures came out. Set the darned thing on automatic and click away. Did I get a good picture? Let me check. No? Well just take it over again. Did you cut the head off Cousin Mavis? Take it over. Did you miss your great-nephew completely. Somebody round him up, hold him still and let's take it again. Did you sneeze just as you pushed the button? Erase that and take it over.

I doubt you're stoopid (sic) Tommy but I'm not so sure about stubborn.

Sweet Canal Street! The best part of digital photos, you can set the camera on manual and see what happens as you change the settings. I would have never done that with film. If something actually worked I would have not remembered how it had been done. Then, taking the pic is only half of it. Using PhotoShop or some such program you can adjust the brightness & contrast to make the pic really pop. Here's a few I took tonight using a glass jar and coffee cups for background.

[big monk]

I've just been checking out the Benchmade brand Monk. Would you say they are a step above Kershaw ?

Not really sure?? maybe ?? ___depends on what you are looking for ????___both are well built knives__the Benchmade more $$$$$ and the type steel will cost more__ be careful of the "'China" made, in both__I'm a USA guy (JMHO**) ___

[Mr Rick]

Thanks Monk.

[Rustle47]

Great autos and scout knife! The reddish bone on that Pnut is awesome, I love it! I may have shown these before, but keep coming back to them. A little use of a flashlight with red and blue filters on shiny objects.
