A few B&Ws of a BM Mini-Ambush

This was mostly just me messing around with my new camera, but here are a few black-and-white pics of my Benchmade 10210. These were taken with a Canon Powershot A560, indoors with no special lighting. I used a small wooden tabletop for the background, and a mini-tripod. I think they turned out pretty good to have been pretty much just experimental, but let's hear what you think:

I'm pretty new to knife photography, so let me know if these are any good, will you?

Good job dude! I am buying my girlfriend a Canon A560 for her birthday which I will be using to start my own little knife photography hobby so its great to get an idea of how it will perform. However, I do notice ever so slightly that in some of the pictures the far end of the knife seems to get a bit blurry. Is this unavaoidable due to the closeness of the shot?

Anyway, everything else looks awesome and you can really see the texture in the knife handle which i think is very important.

Thanks, xaman!

Jonny, thanks, and I must say, I would definitely recommend the A560. It's a really great camera for the price. Just don't forget to get rechargeable batteries, because it'll go through alkaline batteries like a starving man through a plate of flapjacks. And yes, the blurring at the far end of the knife in most of the shots is pretty much unavoidable, due to a combination of the angle and the fact that these are macros. If I'd taken them from a bit further out, without using the macro setting, and maybe at more of a profile angle, then there would be no blur. I was aiming for dramatic rather than perfectly representative.
