eric47 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Thanks for those! Fantastic photos of beautiful pen in extraordinary condition. So how did you manage to shoot the transparent celluloid like that, to make it so vibrant/vivid? Was the pen on a slide light table? Edited October 25, 2009 by eric47 Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think. (Kim Gordon) Avatar photography by Kate Link to post Share on other sites

6pound Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I would be interested in knowing what camera/lens/lighting you used, and if you want to spend the time jotting it down, what were your settings on the nib close-ups? Well done. Alright, mister, drop that Waterman and keep your hands where I can see' em. Link to post Share on other sites

Well done. I use a "old" Nikon D50 with PC Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/2.8D set the camera in manual mode, withe balance in Pre-mode. Aperture F22 - shutter speed 1/1.3 Iso 200 and a white A4 sheet as background. The max ratio reproductinon of the lens is 1:2 not 1:1 because I think is not necessary for pens and nibs close-up.Light two 30watt energy saver, no light tent, bank, soft box.
