Seems like some interesting assignments are coming up. And if whether or not the assignments will materialize, one can always make good use of the kind of repro-stand I just purchased.
I was also persuaded to buy some special ‘daylight’ lamps that came it and came from the same manufacturer, so for the moment I have a nice ‘basic’ setup. There still is a chance light from just two sources will not quite do it, but for the moment I am happy and can at least make some small series of images. I made some test shoths with my crappy old camera, and am not too unhappy with the result. Just to show a few, here is some images of IKON DLC, IVANA NECOLOCK, Federal, LIPS and some other locks. Now waiting for Christmas to see if Santa will bring me a nice(er) camera and maybe a couple of lenses …
Nicely done. I try the same thing with my ELMO setup.
I recognize these locks 😉
It looks like the Lips lock is an old 19mm cylinder?
The quality is amazing !!!
How to make a picture of a detail? (new-post please!!!)
