I personally have been shooting Nikon for 30 years. It doesn't matter what camera you have. It's the person behind the camera that counts. Personally I try to use as much possible natural light I can get and use some white or silver panels/reflectors to counter some of the shadows and use as fill light. None of the pics I ever posted or use for my razors have seen any flash light. Right now with the winter light and shorter days I only have a short period of the day to shoot at my setup location.
Many use a lightbox which can easily made without breaking the bank. Works excellent too. Many that use the lightbox do a very good job, others tend to underexpose and not have their white balance correct. Using a lightbulb, halogene or some of the home used lights for a lightbox takes a bit of photographic understanding of light, color temperature and know-how, how to deal with the settings of the camera used. The AUT function doesn't always give the perfect result and some manual use of the camera settings is needed.
Secondary would be the use of a good graphics program. Photoshop has always been my program of choice (actually most of the Adobe suites). There's always some kind of adjustment to be made with digital photography, even if it's just cropping or resizing the picture.
I would say that covers the basics. Composition, a good eye, photoshop knowledge,... are some of the other elements needed. Hope this helps a bit.
Een zalige kerst en een gelukkig nieuwjaar voor jouw en je familie!

That is absolutely awesome! To date, (Imitation) tortoise shell is my favorite looking scale material, and you have set the bar sky high with those scales. This razor is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!
Excellente. I prefer natural over synthetic scales but this one would be an exception. :rock:
Thanx for sharing your photo tips and Happy Holidays backatcha :tu
Messed with photoshop for a second, desert ironwood (Olneya tesota) is amazing stuff, IMO. What do you think?
How bad ass would it be to drive a few hours and found myself a piece of fallen tree just for such a rescale, didgeridoo/outback style?
