Box Elder Hybrid

[Alan Morrison]

Another blank from the box of goodies that Gentleman John @JohnU sent me a while back as part of a prize.
Box Elder Burr Hybrid. Jetstream kit from Beaufort Ink.

Cool blank. When I first looked I thought it was severely under turned. The picture was blurry at first but now I see it's just how the components are. I love the blank, but not liking how they designed the center.

Apologies for the photograph. I don't know why my camera only focuses on one part and the rest is a bit blurry.
I'll try to take a better picture when I sort the settings out.
The pen looks a lot better in the hand than in the photograph.

No it wasn't you Alan. When I clicked on the picture it resized and cleared up. My phone was just going something weird.

Alan, a common concern in photography. Lots of pen photos have the pen on the same plane rather than at an angle. If you're able increase the F stop to increase the depth of field.

Depth of field (DoF) is one of the most important concepts in photography. Understanding what DoF is and what affects it is critical for every photographer.

Thanks for the link, David.
I will study it in detail tonight.
I found a setting on the camera that does portrait, head and shoulders, so I tried that.
Here's the result. ( I didnt realise when starting to turn pens that I would have to get a camera and start clicking.)
