Ken-Hawaii Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 Excellent job, Brano! Lighting, focus, all A1. 2 Quote
DKR Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 Good work. It is a pleasure to make good pictures from a good blade in nice conditions. Shots of the details are the easy one..... Make the same quality picture of the complete blade is a different task. 2 Quote
BIG Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 Nice sword and nice pics, congrats Brano. Best 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 I wish to be able to make similar pictures on my tsuba . Impressive. Quote

You are absolutely right, Didier Although I know the theory of shooting the whole blade, the results of combining individual photos are still lousy😤 The results of Darcy or Kirill photos are my immodest mission Quote
Oshy Posted September 10, 2020 Report Posted September 10, 2020 Wow great close up shot there! In general, the beauty of martensite doesn't seem to be emphasized enough, would love to see more examples if others can share and make this a show and tell thread. I dont seem to have many shots close up like that focusing on the martensite but here are a couple that I have readily available from my recent Ko-Uda acquisition. Mainly a fine stream of sand. Additional pics available here too: https://imgur.com/gallery/VLFNouU 6 Quote

There it was hanging from the beam with baler twine around it. I asked what the farmer wanted for it. He said he used to do house clearance and got it at an estate with many others. It had been up there 20 years. £50 bought it, signed Tamba no kami Yoshimitchi with surare ba just like that and that bold Yoshimitchi mei. I took it up to Victor Harris for kantei all those years ago. That was the start, but then deals could be found and these swords turned up cheaply at all the local auction houses. Now prices over here are ludicrous..... Supply and demand I guess. Quote
