    Hey Justin,

    Must be a pretty quick shutter speed, to catch the pen 'midflight'

    I'm no expert so take this with a grain of salt, Lighting is the biggest issue from what I've read and been told, I am doing some experiments at the moment with some LED lights, I will have a post up in a few weeks I hope.

    Reality is no background music.

    You find that if you throw the pen then hit the shutter (at least /125th) you'll get the shot!

    Hey Justin. I like your pens, all fitted & finished beautifully Your pic's are pretty good too. I have found that natural (outdoor) light is hard to beat. Not direct sunlight, but just out of it, if ya know what I mean. I have my camera set on 1600 X 1200 (M3), which is the best setting for posting / emailing photo's, and I try to get close enough to the pens so that the Macro setting will kick in. Usually about 400mm or closer from the pen., and the camera is set to AUTO. Hope this snippet of info helps mate. Cheers, & great work !!!!!

    As the others have said, the pens look great.
    It looks like you are using artificial light on your pens, so if you change your white balance to the tungsten setting, you should get rid of the yellow effect.
    Like Pariss said, natural light is the easiest and best if you can.

    Very nice photo work, although it looks a little grainy but major improvement on your previous photos.

    Cheers
