Whoa, that is one cool nib there, SJM. Also, the little detail at the base of the nib -- very nice!

It's even cooler to use--It's an adjustable flex stub making for lots of fun line variation when set to stiff, superflex or anything in beteween :)

That was shot using just normal indoor lighting. In this case, it was a halogen torchiere aimed at the ceiling. The lamp was about three feet away. I bought a new camera the other day so I am making pictures to get used to the new set-up.

 

The shot was taken at iso1600, f/11, 1/3 sec exposure using a Zeiss 100 mm f/2 Makro Planar lens on a Nikon D300s. I used +2/3 EV exposure boot. The camera was mounted on a tripod so I could use long exposures at the short working distance.

 

 

I know you were part of the other thread started by Diplomat concering the G11/S90. I went the other way and went dSLR and macro lens. I won't be buying pens for a while. Where was Ethernautrix and the LA! LA! LA! chant to save me?

This is helpful, thanks, mate. Though I prefer natural light, I'd like a nice plain white light to shoot indoors with.

 

On the tripod: I've a little handheld one somewhere. You just reminded me! (My old from one broke.)

 

As for macro lenses, I'd like one for my Olympus E-510, but it's not something I can justify at the moment. We'll see how UK/US sales for my book go...

Nice photo, Ricky, but... not buying pens for a while? What?!

 

I'm not buying any pens until L.! A.! L.! A.! L.! A.! and then I'm going to scoot over to John Mottishaw to inquire about a Nakaya... teehee! But that's it! THAT'S IT!

 

 

Shhh... that's my secret plan.

 

Also, seriously, very nice photo! We should do a Pen Posse Photo Shoot!

That is cool. It's like... you wouldn't even need more than one pen *GASP!* I didn't say that!

"For a while" means until LA. LA! LA! LA! LA! Between Bryant and the new camera, I must slow down pen acquisitions till LA. I haven't shown you my Ripple yet.

 

 

I dropped a big chunk of change on a new camera kit going from my point and shoot to a Nikon D300s. It was the Zeiss lens that put me over the top. I did this to take better pictures of pens. It's funny how that works. I'll post some non-pen pictures in the random pictures thread in chatter. I just got back from a quick picture making session.

 

We definitely need to do the Pen Posse Photo Shoot. We should organize a Pen Posse before the LA show. There are bunch of new people wanting to come.

Hi,

great picture and wonderful equipment.

Technically for sure one of the best combinations of dslr camera + macro lens available.

I am a Carl Zeiss lens addicct since the 1980s, the old analog slr days, and now using the wonderful Zeiss lenses on consumer canon dslr together with some canon AF lenses, as I cannot afford the newest dslr and lenses anymore.

Again congratulations and wishing fun with your equipment in the world of outstanding close ups.

Thanks for the comments.

 

I fell in love with the lens first then thought about the body. The color rendition and bokeh are spectacular.

Great shots, Henry! I especially like that inky feel to them - caught in the midst of something.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
