This one had me nervous

[buttonsHT]

Decided to try a higher end kit. Went with a rhodium/black titanium emperor with a trustone mother of pearl blank. My photo skills are still lacking as only certain parts of the photos are in focus. :redface:

I'd be wearing a silk smoking jacket when I use this gorgeous pen. Great blank and perfect F&F.

A Beautiful Pen Mark,
Great Fit and Finish,
I would like to have a photograph with the Cap Fitted, so you could see that Total Impact.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Great looking pen Mark!

If your camera is adjustable, go to the highest f-stop you have - probably f22. That will get you max depth of field (photo depth that is in focus), move back a little that will also give you more, and then crop out the part you don't want.

Nice looking pen considering that black truestone is not the easiest stuff to turn.

Great looking pen, and Harry gave you the perfect solution. If you google depth of field, that should give you a ton of info on how and why. Then it's just a matter of of learning what your camera will and won't do. The easiest way is to just back up a little to take the picture. Don't worry about using the zoom either. Just crop the picture. Unless you have a really old camera, the resolution should be plenty.

Outstanding blank it really fits well with the kit making for s truly amazing pen. Great fit and finish.

Do exactly what Plano_harry said to do. You'll get better depth of field. Your lighting looks to be pretty good though. Love the pen!

Love the pen, I agree the solution to your clarity of the picture is depth of field. This should be increased to the maximum your lens will allow. I use f stop 32 on the macro lens.

Elegant pen. Great job.
