Hi, nice balance, great lighting. I was always taught to look for a large range of tones, from pure white to black black. Looks like you are on the spot, from the white on the vise to the black background. this is lacking in most photos. Nice work.

Here's a pic of my setup. It was shot at night with the lights turned off.
The first shot was done illuminating the tools with my iPad per Andy Shinosky's tutorial awhile back. The remaining shots were done with an LED flashlight raking the light to illuminate individual tools. After that, all files were loaded into a stack in Photoshop CC with extensive use of masks to bring in the individual tools which were not well lit during the first exposure.
I shoot 10-second exposures at f16 @ ISO800.

What make of vice is that? Is the graver with the rotating end used for inside ring engraving? What is the small container to the left of the vice? By the way, nice photo, looks like something you would see on a Lee Valley catalog cover.
Cheers

Did you shoot in RAW so you can post-process the images?

I always shoot RAW unless it's something really casual.
Thanks Phil! Love the canvas and framing!
Thanks Don
Muehlmatt vise circa late 1800s.
Yep, for inside ring engraving. Patented 1912.
The small container on the left is an antique oil can. I believe they came with sewing machines and are quite common.
Where do I find the time? For one, I rarely watch television and am not interested in sports. If I'm not sleeping I'm engraving, drawing, doing photography or something fun
I believe you could call that having your priorities in order Sam!
