Just a quick shot from a G9 and flash. Turned out OK for all hand held and only a couple of sample.
Need to go after it again :D

    Good shot, Ian. Well-controlled lighting. Use of the darker background was a good choice.

    I've got a few knives but I'm no big-time collector. I will meet with Daniel Winkler the next time I'm up in Blowing Rock, NC, and I might pick up another one from him. He made all the custom knives used in the movie " The Last of The Mohicans ".

    Take care,

    Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thank you!

    I just realized there is some oil still on the blade. I will need to clean that off and repeat. Very simple setup. Single speedlight with a Stofen at 1/16 power and about 8" above the subject. Manual exposure (dark frame).

    I looked at some of Mr. Winkler's work. Those are some gorgeous pieces! I can see how they would be chosen as props for that movie-which I enjoyed BTW.

    Chris Price of The Tidewater Forge also makes some very nice knives.

    It's still there. Perhaps your firewall is blocking?
