My photo ability

[Dale Allen]

I was hoping this would improve my pictures.
This is a pen made years ago using amboyna burl.
I wanted to see how the perimeter LED lights in my new display case would show the pen for a photo. I may be able to improve this with some different settings but it is better than I usually do.

That looks really pretty good .... you seem to have avoided most of the shadows and glare that are problematic for me.

Continuous bulb like fluorescent - you can get these in LED, will help, but there are also LEDs that are not one continuous lighting, in other words a light square every inch or so. These non-continuous lights, or diamond like diffusers on fluorescent - cause multiplicity of light point reflections on the pen and as a result take the eye away from the pen itself.

4500K or 5000K make the best light for both pictures and for showing the correct color of the pen.

Every light has a shadow. Multiple highlights distract. Love the pen.Jewelry loves this lighting but......
