These are my 3rd-9th pens completed. I setup a light tent to try to get some decent picks, Any tips on the pics would be great. I am using a Nikon coolpix 7900, I know not the best camera out there but its what I have for now and it works great for everything else.
The pens look good until you get to the tip then they start to get a little blury, what would I have to change on the camera to stop that?

curly maple, I think would have came out better with a darker backround but I only had white and the time.

all pens are slimlines, I got them from woodturningz.com
Word of caution, I got some black enamel kits and the black is starting to flake off and gold is starting to show, I have 4 kits I can't use because of this. I have contacted Ryan and he is trying to work something out.
All pens are finished with ca/blo and shellawax.
Thanks for looking
