Taken with my Photo Box

[edicehouse]

I finally got around to making a photo box. Is there a big improvement in the photos?

Great looking pen and photo!!

Just a little technical suggestion - the light background has caused your camera to underexpose the shot, by about one stop. If your camera allows, you could dial in some exposure compensation to pull it up. One stop would be a doubling of the exposure time - e.g., from 1/100 to 1/50th.

The pic looks good, do I see the tube through the bottom tube or is my mind playing with me.

I agree with Tom, getting the exposure good with a white background is do-able but will take some tweaking and playing around. You might want to try a medium gray background that won't throw off the camera's light meter so much and make it easier to get good results without a lot of experimentation.

Pen looks great. Photo exposure is a bit off, but you'll get there.

The way the pen is sitting, the 'nib' end is much closer to the lens than the 'top' end. This makes it difficult to keep the entire pen in focus.

Turn the pen to the side, as mentioned by sbell. Use a curved backdrop; the hard angle at the bottom is distracting. Try poster board; it's cheap, easier to use, and doesn't "wrinkle". Also, try a different color. That white looks dirty.

Looks great even though this is the time of day the sun shines in my face.
