Blog Post About Photographing Fountain Pens

[JonSzanto]

Partly an attempt to keep this thread alive... I've posted this elsewhere on FPN, but I just finiished a restore on a 1929 Parker Duofold Sr. Streamline. I wanted to document it pretty quickly but also go a little outside of my standard plain backgrounds so I just had a bit of fun. Probably a bit too busy but whatthehell. A really great pen picked up for a song on eBay only note from restoration was once again checking in with my patience: it took 2 days to get the section out.

Very nice blog posts! I am into photography myself and willing to take some nice pictures of my few pens soon

 

Everything was well explained for a layman, without going in-depth on the aperture, speed and ISO triangle.

Thank you for your useful post! I envy with your studio. I made one for myself. It works OK but the look is so silly. But I still love my small space. I will improve it to look like yours.

 

Here is my latest photo of pen:
