Do you use a dedicated macro lens? I'm amazed at the depth of field you can get. Maybe it's me, or my macro lens, but things get blurry within a few fractions of an inch.
Also, what is your light set up?
Great new photos btw

Thanks Bro! In College I had A Photography Class. I am using a Iphone XS Max. I using a simple Low Omittance Lamp with soft white light and the Gray / Light Tin Background helps. The zoom on the camera is quite nice. I do have to knock down the photo size for my website which is a pain as they have to be below 1000 KB. They come in around 3000 to 6000 KB. I handle everything with gloves and when shooting cross grain I have to angle the light so it hits it right. The better the blade and cross grain the harder the shot. Mirrored finishes Are Tough so I have a peep I have created with a white tag board to block my reflection. Just some bush league tricks but they work. Nothing fancy. Anyway I am not sure about the phones internal Macro Lens. It works better than the old digital camera I used for years. Hope all is well with you and the family.

Thanks
I've been using my Pixel more and more for photos. I just find that with the macro lens on my camera does not provide the depth of field needed, even after making loads of adjustments...but I'm totally self un taught

Another 'straight from the factory' dagger - so you do have a time machine! That is the nicest one I have seen. Excellent photography too!
Fabulous Bahnschutzpolizei leader dagger Rossi. Running out of adjectives for your collection.
If translating into English it's more correct to call this a "Railway Police" dagger, rather than "Railway".
