Raden Spiral Pen - "Andromeda"

[Sharksteve]

This is a pen with a raden spiral I recently finished. Difficult to take photos that do it justice,

I tried to take pictures out- and inside.

Other than the Bock nib, I like that one alot!

I find raden hard to do justice to, it needs just the right angle and a lot of light, but usually all that light isn't great for reflections across the non-raden part of the pen. I've been photographing a Namiki Nightline and the videos capture the light in a way that few of the photos do. It seems to be ok for small patches of raden in a close up shot at the right angle, but large sections are really tricky. Equally some pieces of raden when they are photographed from an angle and are dark look like they have damage on the, patches of different shades, when you rotate into the light they are fine, but again they make still photos hard.
