Here are some of my recent pipes

You are making some big improvements with these! Keep it up!

Thanks Sir.

The pipes look great, as far as I can tell. Your grainy contrasty photography makes it hard to see, and hurts my eyes. Maybe it's just my computer. Does anyone else get that?

The pipes look awesome! The pictures...not so much. Great work!

 

[cossackjack]

Nice pipes.

Agree that the photos have too much ccontrast & saturation which detracts from the natural appearance of the pipes.

 

[lohengrin]

Yes, you improved your capability.

Congrats!

How do I delete this post?

You can't. Post deletion is left to the mods/admin. I'd send one of them a PM to ask for help.
As to your pictures above, I agree with the others that your pipes here show an improvement over other pipes you have posted in the past. I also agree that your photos don't help me really get a good look at your pipes. I think it was Premal Chheda who posted a thread on the pipemakersforum about how to shoot a pipe to capture the lines and angles properly. It's worth a read if you haven't seen it yet.
Keep on carving.

Nice work on all three!!

 

[pagan]

Obviously you are a better pipe maker than photographer, nice work though

Really like that Dublin and the stain on the first one is perfect.

 

[dottiewarden]

Great work on the pipes. Congratulations!
My favorite is the first one but for my liking it needs a longer stem.
Keep on carving!

Very nice ... keep up the great work! :clap:

All interesting pipes, especially (to me) the canted Dublin. These look a little more refined and finished than earlier ones, although they were attractive.

Great work, Love the Bonn Saill.

The Dublin really catches my eye.
The photos look like what happens when sharpening is over applied; exposure, focus and saturation don't seem much out of line.

Did you use sharpening in your processing? What app and what settings?

 

[weedsnager]

Very nice pipes !

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Love the Dublin. Nice work.

I use the HD setting on my phone and then I have been doing the ovelay on Pic Monkey, I will work on the pictures, it looks fine on my HD monitor but I will stop using the HD setting

Thanks for all the kind words and advise
