Tips and Techniques
J.J. says take your knife pics outdoors
I can go with that!!
On a CLOUDY day is best
"They say"
It does seem like glare is definitely a issue with knife pics
I always spend a lot of time trying to adjust my lighting to avoid major glare spots

I love outdoor light - When I see the golden light of the late afternoon shining across the fields I like to get my camera out and start snapping.
I run an older Nikon D40 with an 18-55mm Nikor lens.
I noticed that my sensor was very dirty when I checked this series of pictures - so I cleaned it up -
I typically use a pop-up light box with two or three fluorescent "daylight" bulbs in soft boxes, and then I have several "reflectors" made from cheap picture frames covered with aluminum foil - which I use to reflect light in places that otherwise have shadows.

Nice detail Moon! That's the way to do it indoors for sure. Otherwise head outside on a nice day and look for a good setting!
