The Stubborn Pen

[jttheclockman]

Decided to show this darn pen that just does not want to be photographed. I love the blank and is probably my favorite acrylic blank I ever used. The pen kit is a Venus and the blank is an Omas blank which is a high grade blank. As always any comments and or questions are always welcomed. I went with indoor shots with my usual setup. Thanks for looking.

Wow John,

I can only imagine how spectacular the chatoyancy of that blank is.
Pictures never do justice to that depth in chatoyant blanks.
I bet it is simply amazing.

Did you get your Omas blank from the UK or is there a USA source somewhere?

Gorgeous pen, John.

Have you tried shooting it with a black background?

Pure class all the way, John.

I am not a photographer, but if I had taken that picture I would be very happy indeed.

Gorgeous pen, John.

Have you tried shooting it with a black background?

Next time I set camera up I will give it a try. I have that gradient paper stuff.

Beautiful work. Photo looks great to me.

That is a beauty, nice work on it! Glad you decided to show it.

Beautiful work. Photo looks great to me.

Thank you Jim. I know coming from you I value your opinion because you have seen more pens on this forum than anyone I know here over the years. It is not the best photos but at least you may get the visual effect I wanted to show off. It is one of those pens you really need to hold in your hand. Can not explain it.

That certainly was a high difficulty level but you nailed it. Although I do believe you that it is best seen in person, it is clearly an amazing pen. Great work!

Spectacular!

An update sort of. Last night I was looking at this pen again and this has probably become one of my all time favorite pens I made that uses a stock blank. But the blank is not ordinary by no means. It is an Omas silver blank. Well I just had to buy a few more of these. Just a warning you will be seeing more pens with this blank for sure. OK back to your regularly scheduled program

Wow, that is beautiful! If it looks that good in the pictures, I'm sure it looks amazing in hand.

Bring 'em on!

Thank you. Yes it does and so hard to photograph unless you are a pro which I am clearly not. One of my all time favorite blanks. I just ordered more last week and waiting for their arrival. It is an Omas blank material.
