Agreed, I use poster board when photographing for the collection database but when in hurry the best light is the plant table... I added one more photo using the tile floor for a better result showing backside and band welds.

Getting the light right is part of it, but if we do just a couple of simple little adjustments we can get a lot more out of the image.

This edited image has had the cyan taken out of it & it has been sharpened.

Cyan is blue/green & every keris pic i take needs the cyan removed, because the colour of the light is that colour, it filters through trees and also the open sky hits the image.
