Hi,

 

As said in the topic. Here are my triesto photograph my 2 mumei wakizashis that I own, they are no pricewinners but they are nice looking.

 

 

I have in my photos been using a setup with 4 spotlights and a sheet of glass with foamstrips on to not scratch the blade.

 

the positioning of the lights are very important, I was repositioning my light for a long time and finally I gave up, but I found it to be ok in my eye. Next photoshoot I will use a black background insted of my carpet :)

Not bad at all. As good as many web dealers and better than a more than a few. It is almost impossible to capture all the activies along blade when photographing from this perspective however. The lights you need to take a shot with the kind of contrast and detail you get from a scanner can only be found in professional photography studios.

Thanks,

 

Im looking in to bringing in a flourecent light to bring out the hada a little more, but first I will try to add more spotlights to even out the light over the whole blade. And a reflector to bring out the mune more.

 

Im getting more and more annoyed with the grey background so I will retake the shots with a completely black background so that the blade hovers in the air.

But that will not come before the end of next week. I bought 4 more lamps today :)

Good start Niclas,

The black background, and fluorescent lights should help.

Very nice start though.

 

 

Thanks, but the fluorescent light only make the hada show up ALOT :bang: But I will try again..... Im glad its a digital SLR and not a film SLR :D
