Hi Tim your getting the hang of these bullet pens.
This photo is better than your last one, you have the focus pretty well spot on, you are almost there.
You just need to play around with the lighting a bit more.
I think you have enough light there for a good photo, but it is mainly only lighting up the top edge of the pen, the side we can see has got a bit of shadow on it.

You can improve this by having another light that you can position beside your camera and shine it onto your pen, if it is too bright you can use a bit of white cloth, something that doesnt block all the light, like a piece of cheesecloth or an old wornout white Tshirt to put in front of the light to diffuse, or soften the light. This will light up the bits that you are looking at in the photo.

Nice Timbo!! You just kee getting better with your work!!..

The trouble is time is of the essence as I only have a limited amount of time with Barry and it is easier to just buy ready made kits.
