Yes sir, it’s mine. Whatever i shoot and post here is mine.

This Victorinox giant, actually a collector’s item, i managed to buy it before the crisis… :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not sure that Victorinox qualifies as a pocket knife anymore :-).

yeah, thats no pocket knife anymore for sure.
they are actually made to be a dealer sample displaying all possible tools a swiss army knife can have. or thats at least why they started out making them that big
would love to have one, but ouch… them prices are crazy these days

Dale, i think that Thrunite TN31 is a well worthy top flashlight model! It is very photogenic, to say the least :slight_smile:

Well, that depends on the pocket. But as a key chain light is fine :bigsmile:

Xiotis. Some really nice pictures you got there… Maybe I should try to get some decent photos of some of my stuff one day….

I really like the “Thrunite TN31 led picture”. Is there a special reason why I get the impression that there is some motion blur in the reflector? I assume it just turned out that way due to “bokeh”, or did you do something special since that shutterspeed was not that fast?

I also like the “Night Photography, time for sleep” picture. I think the mood/colors is very nice…
I do wonder if you used a bit to much sharpening on the whole picture. It looks like there is some sort of “bokeh artifacts”. Its especially visible on the second row of flashlights when you look at it in full screen.
Maybe its just a combination of a bit if green color fringing and a bit of ISO noise combined with sharpening??
If you used unsharp mask or something I would recommend to only use it on the parts you want to be sharp… I may be off on my little analysis of that…
And I you use a tripod or something, just use ISO 100 instead of 400 and make the shutter speed longer…

Either way… great pictures…
