Definitely a much better picture of the piece, Grizz! To echo the comments of others, try using a neutral, plain background to avoid distraction. It really helps to keep the interest on the piece itself. As for the centering that Enrique mentioned, that can be a tough thing to hit just right on a rectilinear piece like that, since the eye wants it to be perfectly parallel to the borders of the picture, but the camera's light wants it to be taken from an angle slightly off of dead center. (One reason I prefer to use floodlights) The only easy way I know to resolve the parallax conflict is in Photoshop. You can use the "distort" or "skew" tools to fudge the image to fit the frame, yet still have that nice lighting. Back when I was using a view camera, I'd just do the tilt and swing thing and get the image squared-up nicely in the viewfinder, but those days are long gone.

Thanks for the responce, I like trying different things, this time I tried natural sunlight with the background you see, I was so much happier, the true colors of the copper were easier to bring our but the glare in the top right corner was either there or elsewhere so I left it there. Tommorrow a few of my items (including this one) get shot by a real photographer in his studio, see what he comes up with. "GRIZZ" » reply  leaf

Grizz, I really like the texture. What did you do to darken the backround? Are those bird feet on the frame? » reply  Great Balance

I had the privilege to view this piece in person today. It is a great piece of work and to top it off, the repousse' panel can be removed with little effort should it need to be. It was good to see Grizz and his son Jason on there way back from metalfab conference. They made a wonderful panel that was installed athe Ornamental Metal Museum. very cool Rick Sidebottom » reply |

Grizz, I like the contrast.
Grizz,
