Pipe Collection Photo Sharing

Dear Mr. Admin / Kevin
1) Tell us how you do your pipe pics
a) Strip out backgrounds
b) Lighting
c) How you prop pipes in upright position
2) Do you personally Shoot the Pipe Model Pics?

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. LOL. j/k.
a) Strip out backgrounds - Photoshop
b) Lighting - Portable Photo Studio

c) How you prop pipes in upright position - on the side of the photo studio, or on the bed with the pillows and white blankets and then strip them out.
Here's one I didn't strip out much so you can see the blanket on the bed:

2) Do you personally Shoot the Pipe Model Pics?
No, but I tamp their tobacco with no hands.

That Dunhill Rubybark is a beautiful pipe but really it is 'Crosby' after Bing Crosby's pipe he designed and had Ed Kolpin make for him. Ed who died at age 97 not long ago was the owner of Ed's Pipe Shop in Santa Monica, Ca which became the Tinderbox Chain. See the Crosby on Youtube on one of my video's made by Ed.

Hey Kevin, now that's a great line..."No, but I tamp their tobacco with no hands".
