Cool set and great focus quality.

 

I would suggest to look into different composition to give a little more dynamic and drama to the shots. There are loads of good examples around for inspiration.

Thanks, it was the first use of my new macro lens, I have some ideas for better lighting and composition... Just not enough time!

Somehow I missed this thread originally. And I have questions....

@ pseudo88 -- What's the nib in the 6th photo --the nib with the dimpling and what looks like knights jousting at the base? (It's the photo between the Kaweco nib and the Waterman Ideal nib, for frame of reference).

@ Tasmith -- That Marlen Alaph nib is weird looking. I know pretty much zero about Marlen pens, so I was curious as to whether there was some particular reason (such as adding flex to the nib) in those serrated cutouts on the sides.

That pen is a Faber-Castell Ambition Pearwood.

Sony A7 with adapted Pentax Macro-Takumar 100mm F4.

 

The pen should need no introduction.

BTW, if the paper doesn't look white that's because it's an ivory Rhodia Pad.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
