Just A Picture - Traditional Picture Show

Are you using a light box? Manual settings? Post processing? You've got skills my friend! But I guess that comes from having a camera in your hand since you were 23;)

No light box - never tried one, but, probably should. All natural light outdoors - thats where I am comfortable with a camera - indoors not so much.
Manual settings - yes
Post processing - use Silkypix Raw image converter and finish in Photoshop, sometimes with different exposure layers blended.
Thanks for the compliment, however, you are perfectly capable of making some great photos yourself, friend. ;)
. . . . and quite a few others that post here have some really nice knives and photos. :)

The background for this picture was an old antique feed scoop that hangs on the side of a cupboard in my house. I think it contrasts nicely with the blue handles. ;)

My Uncle Joe - who nick-named me Primble when I was nine years old, used to tell people that Primble never met a knife he didn't like. Not entirely true, but, kinda - maybe.

:p

Thank you for all the information, Primble! There is always more to learn. I am much more comfortable outside myself although I did make my own lightbox. Working on post processing skills. Nice Russlock.

One of the insights I try to remember each day is to...see the beauty in everything ...so when I am...

Thanks Uncle Joe for reminding me....Life is real..only then...when I am

Great Picture
 
Beautiful picture and knife, Barry!! But that sheath....it looks extra special! If you feel like offering us a close-up?
 
Some carbon blades with various stages of patina, some forced, some earned over time, others a mix of both...

Thank you Gev! This was a 'practice' sheath for the next project.







I still have a lot to learn....
 
Thanks Paul and Fot0 for the kind words. That is a special place that, unfortunately, is being over-loved these days; thirty years ago it was virtually unknown.

Fes, that Remington is fantastic! He and Charlie Russell are my favorite Western artists. Incredible talent. You must drool over your friend's bronzes!
 
Thanks very much for the look, Barry! Super nice work! Just gorgeous:thumbup: That will be a pleasure to wear.

I love to see a piece like this - it is heart warming to think of all the artistry, time, skill, craftsmanship, and thought that went into making it - it illustrates the best a man has to offer for me. I won't debate the "still have a lot to learn", as we can all learn more every day, however, looks like you learned "quite a bit" already. Just beautiful work on display here and thanks for showing it to us! :thumbup:;)
 
I Must resist the next few knives in favour of a new camera :D Here's a nice old Challenge cut co harness jack that I picked up on the big auction. I think I have opened and closed it more in the past 5 days than in it's previous 85 years. Still can't believe that it is in my care.

Very best regards

Robin
