Sharp Edges

Got some plexiglass surfaces to work with today so I gave them a quick workout.

is this glass or mirror under the knife ?

Plexiglass is just a plastic sheet.. can get it in various colours. The Black colour is a nice reflector

It's better, but in my experience knives cry out for light. The drawback is that a coated blade doesn't look like it should when you blast it with a flash.


As an example, here's a knife I shot...

The light doesn't make it look as black as it actually is, and that takes a little bit away from the shot. While you get the detail of the knife you lose a little bit of artistic appeal. Knife fans will like the detailed shot, but artists and photographers who like knives will appreciate the shots as you have done them. You're knife is a better design, and the material of the handle and the coating on the blade may work better under brighter light. I've always meant to pick up a few of the H&K Benchmade designs and never have. They are nice knives.

I do like the dark lighting, but it could be bigger.

I didn't know how big of a photo I could post so I made it small.

I took this one yesterday as well, but I liked the "artistic" shot if you can call the dark one that. Here's another in a bigger size.
