Looks good - maybe take a closer pic using 'macro' next time so we can see the details, but they're looking great!

Nice looking pens for sure. You are well on your way. Suggestion, lose the tools and backdrop.

I kind of like the tools in the back - maybe should be a tool that is used for the pen making process though. I agree about getting a closer shot. But...where is all the CA glue build up on your bench top. That looks entirely too clean!
Welcome.

good looking pens....I was going to say the pic was a little "plane", but it's actually a pretty big one :biggrin:!
I know the photo is nothing relative to some of the art shots I've seen on this forum. The photos here are amazing. I debated about even posting a pic but wanted to show off my pens.
This photo was taken with my iphone. Sorry but that's about as good as I am going to get with the photos. I don't need to slide down another slippery slope
I like using hand tools thus the handplane in the background. Clean bench?? You should have seen it seconds before I took the photo.

I'm in the same boat. I have made a bunch of pens recently that I'd like to show off, but I can't get decent photos and don't want to spend another fortune on photo equipment just to post pics. I think your picture is fine -- just try to show more of the pens next time!

You don't use a large plane making pens?? Dang, I guess I need to revisit my process...

Now those are a couple of fine looking pens, however, the plane in the background is a little distracting, takes your eyes away from the pens which should be the centre of attention!
