Getting back into photography

[Zendemic]

After a long hiatus away from my camera (and the forums) I definitely think definitely time to start posting some photos again. Ever since starting up school and volunteering 40+ hours a week at the Fire station, my camera hasn't been getting much attention. In an attempt to keep my photography skills from going away I'll try to post a few new images every week.

Anyhow here are a few shots i took a few days ago:


I recently got my watch repaired, and the jeweler gave me the gear that was replaced. A friend of mine wanted a photo of the gear and the Spyderco logo seemed like the best frame of reference for size.


I saw a few videos on youtube of some people trying out the "poorman's stone wash" so I thought I would give it a shot. One of the only things I had was a black pocket clip from a Delica. I thought it would completely strip the paint, but after about 1 hr of shaking the plastic jar full of rocks this was the result. I decided to stick with the super used look rather then go for the full stonewash look.

Nice pics. You should take another of the "used clip". I think they look good that way.

- best wishes, Jazz.

Nice work Cluster, is the first image not yours? (No image stamp.)

They look really good.

Here's another photo for today. Extra points to whom ever guesses what the background is!

that left over gear looks perfect to be turned into a thumb disc for a folder. :D

Both right! Hmm didn't know they used titanium for those trauma plates.

I think it would be a little too thin for that purpose. Though if it were just a tiny bit larger it definitely would be cool!

like the worn clip, might try that

We want to see more of your work, ClusterFlux :D .

Due to my computer being dead and out for service for the past few weeks, I have not had any chance to edit photos. Now that I have it back, here are some more photos!

Sage 1:








I potentially have more Sage 1 pics in the works...

Those are some really nice pictures. I like the texture on the blade in the first one.

Thanks Donut! It's really amazing what comes out when you really look close. I think the "texture" on the blade is a result of me not wiping the fingerprints off the blade before the photo...

Oh, I guess there is a little of that. There always seems to be a faint stonewashing on the S30V blades, maybe it is that you can actually see the carbides or something. I'm not sure what it is.
