    That is beautiful. Clean, elegantly simple. Less is certainly more there!

    Post pics here for critique - must have thick skin

    Well since no one else is stepping up :) Ricky I'd say the photo is well framed and decently lit. The point of the blade is a little "hot" or bright, but I could live with that. The entire knife is in focus, nice and sharp too. I don't know if you have any post processing software like Gimp...

    Need ideas for a tatical photo

    Don't have any reference for you, or an AR for that matter… But! Some suggestions. First pick out the part of the AR that says AR to you. If you try to show the whole AR, the knife could start looking small. So crop in on the AR so the knife fills the frame and is the star. I'm thinking the...

    Vote CLOSED Week 4 Photo Contest - Insets

    I voted for BenrT and Self made. Glad I could vote for two because picking would be tough. Both of the photos had the insets well into the frame of the feature photo. That helps the eye travel around seamlessly. Both were good representations of the subject and Ben's gave very pertinent...

    Week 5 Photo Contest - Composites CLOSED for entries

    Well, I wasn't looking forward to this at all. Not a fan of the insets or the composites. Personally I'd rather see 3 separate images than 3 jammed into one. Took the opposite road with this one and made the detail big and full view small. Mainly since the knife itself is small and it appears...

    Week 3 Voting Thread is CLOSED for Week 3 Photo Contest

    I voted for Buddy's photo this week. Last week he had a killer image as well, but I think this one is way better. The fringe twigs is such a great touch. Very original. They all point at the knife. They add a totally different texture. They form a warm, dark area contrasted by the cool, light...

    An oldie, pre-light tent, shot on my work bench with the two built in fluorescent tubes, a tracing paper diffuser and some white boards to fill in the shadows. I used the inset to show the inspiration for the knife, a page from Flayderman's bowie book, instead of highlighting a feature of the...

    Objective rating system for knife photographs

    Clarity is the major issue with this photo. The point and butt of the knife are out of focus. Only the center is sharp. I was experimenting with my 50mm lens and exploring the depth of field variations with it. If shot at f11, as Buddy says, the entire knife would be in focus and it would have...
