I thought the 1st one was fine. But what do I know. :mrgreen:

What is it by the way?

That's pretty cool. You more or less nailed the shot, but 2 minutes in photoshop can make it really pop:

Angular contact needle bearings FTW! And heck no that it's over exposed. In PP though it could do with a little more grittyness. That way it makes for a better opposite of the pure white background.

or the more common term, a wheel bearing with something sitting on top of it.

i think the exposure was good but #2 is a little better on my uncalibrated screen.

Hey, i'm new to this stuff, what settings did you modify this photo?

 

[Layspeed]

Cool a timken tapered roller bearing...what's the something on top? Looks like the end of an old key or those things used to open cans from way back.

Nice photo.

That was just a levels adjustment (increase black point, decrease midtones), a bit/lot of sharpening and a saturation boost. Makes it look more 'gritty'. Though I guess the OP probably just wants his photo to look faithful to the original piece...
