Testing out my new light box

Here are a few recent knives I made with the pics taken using my new light box. These are much better pics than before using a light box. Now I just have to figure out what all the buttons on the camera do...

This one is a 1095 hunter with buffalo scales.


This is a little skinner I hope to use on a deer before the season is over. 1084 with mircata scales.


A fighter? made of ATS-34 with a curly maple handle and mokume guard.

Barry, Those look great. A lightbox makes a big differance. It's alot harder to take a picture of a knife than you would ever think.

Looks good to me Barry. I made a light box and it has helps with consistency. I am working on photography for a demo, Just have to contact the demonstrator he doesn't know it yet. HEHE

Thanks guys! Steve, shouldn't a demonstrator be kind of a subject matter expert?! I don't know enough yet about taking good pics to know what I still need to know.

Looking good, Barry.

You gotta keep shooting pics and trying different setups in order to get to where you're taking great pics of knives. I've been trying for a while. It can be frustrating but fun as well.
