Mar 12, 2018 21:57 | #1159 Been a long time since attempting to photograph a knife, pretty challenging. You guys make them look so good! Thought I'd see what it took to keep the pantographed signature and lettering legible while not losing the rubbed finish. To get that had to shoot it straight so it looks flat to me.

To get that had to shoot it straight so it looks flat to me. Light is about a 30 degree angle to the knife so that the softbox didn't white it out. Going to have to practice more with this one.

More info | Mar 13, 2018 16:45 | #1164 ra40 wrote in post #18584666 Thanks PhotosGuy and corythosaurus, Any tips for preserving the blade finish when lighting them? Before when I'd taken pictures of knives it had become "accepted" to let the blade go white yet on these nice hand rubbed finishes, that seemed terrible to lose the blade that way. I like to use a large source, like a wall. Find where you need to put the light to reflect in the blade, & then move it around so that the unlit part of the wall also reflects in the blade. Easy to do, & hard to explain! FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

My experience has been managing the angles of the light source to the blade and the blade to the camera. Each blade is obviously different and adjusting each angle can drastically change the detail of the blade. I will even use black cards to manage the light hitting the blade. I easily can take 10-12 shots to get one I like.
