Fine looking Pen Alan and a great picture.

It looks good, but it is a little light, nothing that a quick tweak wouldn't put right. You have a good teacher in Vic.
Sorry, I was looking at it on the laptop and the screen wasn't at the right angle, It's spot on exposure wise.

That looks good
As nobody else has mentioned this, it must be my eyesight but the bottom of the pen looks slightly out of focus
If it isn't my eyesight, try adjusting your depth of field slightly

I didn't mention it as I am sure Vic will get that under control, but as a first outing it is great.

I think that whoever came up with the original tips on taking photos should share on a separate post or in the tutorials.
Thanks for all the positive comments i will have a play later and do a bit of tweaking all the credit must go to vic for putting me on the right track on my own i was miles off course.
this is the light tent i bought its bigger than i need but the wife will also use it for her embroidery and quilting projects or when I'm in the s..t i can camp out in it

It sure is a quality picture Alan, just minor tweaks as already stated and you have it cracked .. It is good to see that both teachers and info is shared to help this happen ..
ooops, nearly forgot .. Nice pen also Alan, if it helps, i made a similar one to this that sold very quickly ..

Looks like a fair bit of kit for the brass. A light tent, 2 x 5500k bulbs, 2 x holders, 2 x mini tripods and other bits. What's the build quality like and how small does it go to store away? Thanks in advance.
