Pipe Porn

Was playing with the wife's camera tonight and took a few shots of a couple of my pipes. Here is the first - my Grant Batson tormented Blowfish:

And here is the second, my JT Cooke Bent Dublin:

Great pics! The first one makes me think of Hallowe'en.

That blow-fish looks positively zombified!

 

[bigvan]

Great pix, great pipes! I especially like that Batson!

I love the blowfish as well, plus the vintage Edgeworth tin

This is another one I took of the Batson - I think the one above is better - you agree?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

I bought that vintage tin on ebay, thinking it would look cool in some pics

Really nice looking pics; your wife must have a nice camera. Glad it's worthy of the subject matter. :lol:

Peck, that blowfish is awesome. I love the look, the shape... the polaroidy/instagramy style of the shots don't hurt the look either. I agree, the first shot of the blowfish is the better of the two.
Nice pipes sir.

Sure as hell beats my cell phone pics! The tin stands out for me, it was my Grandfather's blend. I'm visiting in 2weeks and he said he has some tins kicking around somewhere.

My wife is a photographer so she has a few fancy cameras and a couple of cases with umpteen lenses. She handed me the lense and said "use this one" and so I did.

Wow, amazing pics and pipes Peck. Well done on both accounts!

 

[doctorthoss]

Nice pics, and those are some amazing briars!

I'm thinking she did more than that. The Redhead's a photographer too and that lighting was set up by a pro

Nope. Actually the Batson Blowfish pick is only natural light. The pipe is laying on the hardwood floor by the window in my man cave. So that is just natural light coming through the window. The Cook is just sitting on the granite countertop of my bar, with the under cabinet valence light shining down on it. I didn't use any of the wife's studio lights, but I may try them this weekend.

No need for studio lights peck unless you will be setting them in a soft box with a white backdrop to give the appearance of floating, some of the best lighting for photos is natural unfiltered lighting. There are certain sweet spots for natural lighting and it varies with the back drop chosen and your pipes fit well with their back drops and the lighting, nice work and very nice pipes.

Very nice photography (and pipes too).

 

[kashmir]

Nice ones Peck. That JT Cooke is drop dead gorgeous!

 

[tbradsim1]

Peck , the first picture with the old tin looks like an old Masters Painting, just WOW!

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I'm in love with that Blowfish... wow. That's the first pipe in that style I've ever taken a shining to. How can I get one similar? Great photos too.

HOT DAMN! I am in love with that tormented blowfish. Freaking love it.
All my pipes should be tormented. :twisted:
