I am so glad we have the Exotics' forum, because a whole lot of vocal people will say this is an ad. In FACT, I am interested in some direction from those of you who do photography well.
I turned these "Maj'K" blanks easily and got the pens with gunmetal plating, thinking I would have less trouble with flashback from the components and should be able to get good pics of the color effect.
I am NOT impressed.
After trying my usual (two photo lights--florescent, above the product by about 2 feet, on either side)--I realized that was only going to give me "white" in the sections where the "color shifting" was taking place. I SEE this as a purple-blue color, but the camera sees it as white.
I changed the angle of the lights, placing them behind the blanks, so the reflection was minimized. That's how I got these photos---which I consider the best of the poor!!
I have tried changing the "f-stop"?? (the number from 3 to 8 on my camera) While this changes the darkness, it does NOT change the white to a color. I tried using the flash---not impressed.
The only thing I did not try (because it was night) was filtered sunlight.
Any other ideas???
AS you may have read, EdD is offering a free six pack of Maj'K blanks to the person who submits the best photo---I'd like to help people succeed!!!
Thanks for any input!!
