All of these are great. I wonder if you would be willing to share your lighting setup for the pocket pics as well as some of the others?
I ask because I always struggle with pen photos and I know it is because of my inadequate and ill-positioned lighting.
Christof, what color is that ink leaking into your jacket pocket?
Fred, you really should know that I am using black Parker Quink only....

Saturday, I got a visit by a friend. We talked a lot about pens and collecting, I showed him the whole collection, Pelikan, Parker, Lamy etc... and recognised once again, how lovely the Safaris are!

One Lucky Curve, some Duofolds.....and one lookalike:

It's inspired by the lighting setup of a scientist at the Natural History Museum. He takes pictures of tiny insects:
