This is a seductive thread. This is my latest bargain - a Stipula Suprema with a beautiful unornamented steel nib. It seems to be very nice to write with as well.

Another shot of the Suprema nib. In the frost. SOOC as Ethernautrix says.

Pretty nib, beauty in simplicity. Also, look at that frost -- brrrr! Very nice!

 

SOOC (or Straight Out Of Camera) is a term I learned from other photographers in flickr. I don't know how long it's been in use, but it's handy for "no post-processing" (except for re-sizing and tagging, of course).

 

 

Your picture makes me miss New England a little bit. *Sigh.*

Pelikan Epoch 14K XF

This shot says to me "Star Destroyer" or "battleship."

My longed for Pilot Bamboo arrived today and I couldn't resist a snapshot of its special nib. I love the contrast matte/glossy.

[SMG]

That is a nice looking nib. Sometimes the more austere the nib, the more attractive it can be.

 

Cheers

Bringing back the Hemingway (bringing it back into rotation, that is), filled with Pelikan Blue-Black [sOOC].

From a nurse set. Unfortunately the "light scratches" looks worse in my photo than they do in person:

Stipula Ventidue with a 1.1 mm italic steel nib. SOOC.

That Ventidue nib is gorgeous. I love Stipula's 1.1mm italics!

[MYU]

Fantastic photos in this thread--I'm very impressed!

 

I could really see a "nib only" photo gallery in a museum somewhere. Just beautiful.

 

(now I have to see about taking some nib photos and contribute as well, primitive though they may end up being)

Your exhibition idea is a real good one. It could be made into something really interesting.

I just took this dusk shot by the window. (Shame the tip is out of focus - I wanted the crisp 'Pelikan' line.)
