blue and purple seem to be good color backgrounds for photographing knives. at least for me, it was handy
eventually, i may have the space and time to do each on justice, but for now, it's "dump on the blanket, and go"
actually, i was kinda hoping we could add a new requirement for Beckerheads: ideally should take some minimum amount of time to get, required reading, and learning our style... perhaps two weeks minimum?
it used to be on USENET, the program would warn you something like "you are about to send your message to 100,000s of people. this costs $$$ and resources. are you sure?", and you could set newbie modes to limit (or prevent) posting, and generally groups had requirements that you sit back and read a while and learn your subject.
me? i don't mind questions. i don't. it's one of the things i do for work - answering.
however, usually, they ask good questions that can't readily be solved with a quick search on google
if you can form a question, and type it into google, in English, and can't find it with some additional tweaks well then.google "becker knife photos" actually finds THIS thread. how fast is google, or what? as a result, one can immediately find the links people already posted. heh.
a lot of the common questions are covered in the FAQS/DB... that's why they are there. google fodder and the slight hope someone reads them (and more importantly, finds mistakes - in the last couple years almost nobody has pointed out any *AND* i know they are there
)
