nice pen that, really nice.

Now, about the photo............................. sorry couldn't resist, the voices made me do it :funny::funny::funny:

If you see something wrong with any of my pens please tell me, I don't always see every fault and I would like to correct any that get past me. if you see anything wrong with my photo again please tell me, I will make an executive decision and either redo it or accept it as it is, it's only a forum they don't all have to be as good as Terry's :funny:

Very nice Peter, do these take the ink converter or just cartridge?

They come with an ink convertor and a cartridge.

Peter glad you asked for a critique the top two similar views have different lighting the first flatter than the second and third to me there is a little more magic in the last two every light gives a shadow etc. Believing as I do showing our pens easily, repeatedly and enjoying the results thanks for showing.The pen is one that looks as good apart as together.

When I made my first one I found making it that the timber thickness is fairly fragile in thickness the instructions most confusing depending on how the parts arrive partially assembled or one at a time.The top drifts off easily allowing individual selection or matching timber etc or a jewel etc. I admire your turning and finish with this pen combining with character.

Kind regards Peter.:claps::claps::claps:

Thanks Peter, yes the 1st. photo is side lit from the left with the light being bounced off the top of the tent, the 2nd. and 3rd. are lit from behind again with the light bounced. The reason I do the side lit shot is as you are probably aware to show the wood without as much glare/reflection from the CA. I only use a a Metz 45 CT5 to light the pens for the forum, but of course it is always bounced.

I am always happy to get critiqued on my pens as well as the photography, sometimes I haven't noticed a problem with a pen until I have photographed it and it is not always apparent even when I have looked very closely, that there is an issue. I am not precious about my photography people can rip it apart if they wish, it works for me as the goal is to make my photos easy to look at and I would always consider ideas or hints/tips put forward, but if it meant making my setup more complicated then I probably wouldn't take up the suggestion. For me as long as the pen and wood are clear enough for people to see then I have done okay. It is always a pleasure looking at your pens because the lighting makes it easy to look at them.

Regards
Peter

Thank you Peter, I just tried side lighting and it does make a big difference.
