Howdy folks,
I am looking for some advice on photographing the custom knives I make.. I think I am doing ok but I am sure I could do better and definitly feel I could be more consistent..
I shoot my knives in a white softbox.. I have 3 65w compact flourecent daylight bulbs that I place aroud the outside of the softbox.. I recently got my speedlight flash and a diffuser cap for it which really seems to help..
I find that i get the best results shooting in manual mode however I dont know what settings to really select to get the quality photo.. The current setting (dont have it in front of me) seems to be working pretty good.. Here are some of the latest pics.. Please let me know what you think and if there are any settings I can try to get better results..
Note.. I usually use my short lens about 1' from the knife..
