New Background

[Stevej72]

This is the same Jr. Gent black titanium with deer antler that I had in another post with the black glass background. Here I used 3500K flourescent and an 18% grey reference card to set white balance.

On black glass with similar lighting to above.

Pen looks fabulous in this pict.

But the background really swallows that pen. For me, contrasting colors really make the pen stand out. Blue backgrounds for a brown pen, brown backgrounds for a blue pen. And I personally LIKE the black background (just look at the background of most of my picts). Try using those same camera settings with your reflective black background. I think you will like the outcome; it will show a nice contrast.

Steve, the pen looks great! I do like the shiny black reflective surface you used before. It makes the pen look real classy.[8D] I may try a picture with the black surface this weekend.
