Is that Musk Ox horn?

Actually it's a wood. Not sure what kind I did these quite awhile ago. My photography desperately needs help:bulgy-eyes:
here's a few more...it is whitish not yellow

 

[scottwood]

more poor photos

These are more of my oldest pens-The LOML has been giving away the good ones...

To make the white look white, you'll need to fool the camera. Think over exposure.... You can do this with software, or right at the source. The source needs to have the EV value bumped to +1.6(or higher).
It will also help to photo white objects on a darker background.

Tip: Increase the DOF or move the camera back away from the subject to increase the 'in focus' of the object. You can always crop the photo to get rid of 'unwanted stuff in the background' too.



The pens look pretty good, just tell the one-that-must-be-obeyed she can't keep giving them away, it'll take money out of the vacation fund to replace them:wink:

Nice looking pens. I think the 1st is box elder burl.

The first pen – pure innocence and bliss pen. Well made.

Thanks to all for looking, I know they are hard to see clearly.

Scott B, I appreciate the photo advice. Have to see if I can make these adjustments on my Canon Power Shot SD550.

The Majestic was made with a Birds eye Maple Burl that I found at Woodcraft.
It was a special and I haven't seen it there since.

Thanks again
Scott

Very nice pens.

You have somehow muted the reflection that I have issues with. Good work, nice pens.

Nice pens. Photography is an art all in itself. Just keep at it. I am still working on mine too.
