Alot of people don't think about things like this but your pictures and thumbnails are the first thing to grab someone's attention or dismiss their attention. Great video.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks Erick! It’s been something on my list to talk about for a while.

[@fourkings7897]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience to us noobs.. Bless you..

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

[@DBCraftWorld]

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks David! I stole this topic idea from you! 😉

[@Anderson-HandForged]

this help me alot thanks denis just ordered the light box appreciate the link Mark

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

It's totally worth it. If I keep doing swords, I'll need a bigger one though. It was tough to get a good picture of the sword. Thanks for watching, Mark!

Great triple T Thursday

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks brother!

I got a light box, and after a lot of experimenting, I still take better pictures outside in the morning than I do in the light box.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

There is that magic hour in the morning and evening that provides the best light. Short of that though, its easier to use the lightbox at other times. Thanks for watching.

[@clintonshank5137]

Very helpful thank you.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@brysonalden5414]

Excellent advice! I will only add that using a good camera, with f-stops, will markedly increase the clarity of the shots, assuming one sets the aperture and time correctly to set the depth of field you want.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I don’t have a good camera, just my phone. And I have no idea how to use a camera, like most people I think. 🤷‍♂️

[@brysonalden5414]

@@TyrellKnifeworks I guess learning how to use a camera is not dissimilar to learning how to make good knives, it takes book learning and practice. I assume you and your customers are happy with your photos, so no worries.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@brysonalden5414 I'm not disagreeing with you by any means... just that I have little interest in learning to use a "real" camera, whereas I'm very interested in learning to make good knives. 😉

[@brysonalden5414]

@@TyrellKnifeworks I've been a photographer for 50 years or so, and a smith for two years. If my knife making skills get to your level I will be very, very happy!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@Bryson Alden, I've only been at it just over 2 years so if you have the passion (and time), it will come for sure!

[@JC-ir5lh]

Good video! I am wondering if your have any experience with a turn table?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I don’t, I’ve never used one but I think they are pretty cool. I’ve seen a few people use them on FB and I like the look. I might look into getting one. 👍

[@jakoblarusson1276]

Can you tell me about the black knife box... looks very interesting..

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I ordered those boxes from China. They were about $11 per box after shipping. I used alibaba to find a vendor. Sorry I don’t have a link.

[@rodgerklindt3165]

I made a tissue paper box years ago, worked OK. But if your rig comes with lights, I'm in. Thanks for the tip!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@Rsama60]

Seems we ahve the same light box and the same lights. Yes the crticcla part is to avoid refection. Photograph a mirror without seeings anthing innthe mirror.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yes, that is the key isn't it. That light box is a deal with the lights and tripod for sure. Thanks or watching!

[@JordanBuzzy]

You're a few steps further than some "professional" photographers out there. Great tips for any product photography. Some key words for you @tyrellKnifeworks: key light, negative fill, bounce light, and pin light.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look, Jordan!
