"currently" my pelikan 140

Here we go, I would love some comments, either about the pen or pictures

Nice picture resolution - may I know what camera you are using to take these pics. Here is my take:

1. Perhaps you should angle the pen so it shows more of the nib

2. Nice details on the body but the nib section is blurred. Suggest you use less depth of field

3. I think there is insufficient light on the nib section. As a result, the nib details are not so clear. You may wish to consider some indirect flash to brighten the nib

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestions, they are valuable. This was my first attempt at "product" photography ever. Those pics were taken with Nikon D80 and Sigma 70-300mm Macro. I feel much more like home behind "actual" camera (medium format film) and in darkroom then with digital and photoshop. If you want to see what I photograph mostly (and I promise there are no pens in sight) www.photo.net/photos/discordianist

And I used complete darkness and indirect flashes from flashlight as light source. Darkness was unintentional, but I had the feeling to take photos at night
