First attempt huh ?
Looks pretty darn good to me. I've always thrown the knife down and shot it a few hundred times.....whatever happens, happens. I have a total disintrest in photography and it shows. I may have to rethink this light box thing. Great job on both.

I like it, if I was looking at purchasing this knife I would not include the revolver in the picture, too much extra. Maybe put a quarter or small ruler for scale. just my 25 cents.
 
Well, I like the revolver in it. It conveys a theme or style that helps show the maker's vision of the knife. I think the revolver also shows the size of knife very well. The hired guns that make a living with knife photography usually just show the knife by itself in a couple different views photoshop'd together, but I kind of like the themed prop style myself.
 
I can see your point Mr svinarich but I was trying to do exactly what chevytrucking was getting at .To convey a theme or idea .Thank you both for your thoughts.
 
Thanks Rudy I'm not real savvy on taking photos and usualy just do as you do lol.My daughter is into it and I think I'm going to enlist her help,she has the fancy camera gear and all .I took these pics with my cell phone.
 
Thanks Gearheart and Calvin,I just picked up a canon PowerShot SX-500 camera brand new from someone with buyers remorse for 150 dollars.I hope to be able to take some decent picks with it.I got it just before heading up here to work so I havnt had a chance to play around with it yet.It's not perfect I know but it's better than my cell phone lol.
