Hickory and Zebra Wood Inlay

[Youngturner101]

I am super proud of this pen. It took me three tries because of the explosions I was encountering. The first one was Zebra wood and Leopard wood which would of been cool sad that it blew up :frown:. The type of pen is American Rollerball. Please leave comments they are much appreciated for such a new turner like me .

lighting makes it difficult to see.

I am no professional photographer. Any suggestions for easy way to take pictures? I am using a old Cannon Digital Elf camera. Its on Macro with no flash. I'm not looking to spend money on a new camera or a studio

White balance if the camera has it, or white balance disks would help, or wait for natural light next to a window using tissue paper as a diffuser. Quite a few little tricks, but yellow is not the new white, ha ha ha. I'm sure it's a stunning looking pen though, best wishes.

Yikes, aside from the photowork, it looks like a great pen. A heck of allot better than the one I tried to make today.

The two-tone zebra makes an interesting pattern. Nice change of pace.

Don't need a studio, you can make a light tent from a cardboard box and a white bed sheet. Then some lights around it....you will need a good tripod though, but doesn't your turning deserve a nice photo?

You don't have to use an HDR program, but the link for the Picasa3 file(it's absolutely free) is there too.
