Beautiful form, Tim and the wood is awesome. Would love to hear what you "pic" up from your photo class.

Awesome piece Tim! I love the form, don't see how it could get any better and ditto John K on drop dead gorgeous wood!

You probably already know that I love the form!!! Really nice! Beautiful wood! Always amazed at the different patterns and colors that the spalting process can create! Nice work!
As far as the photography... might try moving the light source slightly towards the front to lighten up the bottom portion of the form. JMO. If you can take a class - great! If not - just play around with your settings and find what works for you!

Poplar can have some beautiful spalting and the lines can be amazing. That's how it is in this case. Beautiful piece. I have alot of it spalting right now.

Wonderful form and wood. Photo/Side #1 is as good as it gets. Not exactly cabinet grade Poplar.

Agreed and there is a wealth of info out here on the interweb too! Like anything practice and experiment!Originally Posted by Steve Schlumpf
tripod or no tripod? On the longer exposures, a tripod is key but another little trick if you don't have a remove shutter release is to put the camera in timer mode (like you're going to be in the photo) and take the photo that way. That eliminates the camera shake from when you push the shutter button.
Are you using full blown photoshop or photoshop elements? (just curious, not saying one is better for you just differs what I know about the app).
Sorry for my unsolicited inputPhotography is a lifelong hobby/passion of mine and a side job so I have a hard time not chiming in. It's actually something I feel like I can chip in with on these forums since when it comes to wood turning I but a peasant around here. Its another that the further you get into it the more there is to learn and experiment with.

A cheap grey card helps dumb down getting the proper white balance as well.
