Frank B Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Pair of solid gold menuki by the 2nd master of the Yanagawa school(Naomitsu). Surprisingly hard to photograph. 7 Quote
Curran Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Surprisingly hard to photograph. Welcome to my world. RKG recommended a good book, of which I have read 1/2 and yet to actually try to achieve it. 1 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Wow Frank!!!!! Love them! 1 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Congratulations Frank! Cheers, -S- p.s.- Photo is not half bad, needs a bit more light and to be in focus would vastly improve things.. If a camera use tripod, if a phone try voice command...should help. 2 Quote
Frank B Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Posted February 26, 2019 Congratulations Frank! Cheers, -S- p.s.- Photo is not half bad, needs a bit more light and to be in focus would vastly improve things.. If a camera use tripod, if a phone try voice command...should help. I'll try to take better photos of the menuki tonight. Quote
Frank B Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Posted March 1, 2019 Some better photos, and the silk cover. 1 Quote
Soshin Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 I am not surprised gold menuki or other gold sword fittings are not that easy to photograph well. I had to practice to get the exposure and focus correct. Very nice menuki Frank! Quote
Tanto54 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Nice Frank - you should ask Darcy if you can use his pictures of these menuki (great color and closeups....) 1 Quote
Frank B Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Posted March 6, 2019 Yes, my photos sadly will never match the quality of his. Quote
Japan2112 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 Lovely menuki, Yanagawa work is a favorite of mine. Congratulations on those, 1 Quote
Blazeaglory Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 The detail is amazing! I can see gold in the top photo of the two but the other photos look like a silver color or white gold? The composition, whatever color it actually is, looks precious tho. What is it exactly? Gold as well? Quote
Frank B Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Posted March 24, 2019 Yes Dwain, the menuki are solid gold. Quote
Blazeaglory Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 I've seen these before. Probably one of my favorite menuki! Quote
