Early Deschler D.&.S.M SS Totenkopf

[Dos]

Wow really cool find Dos and a great pic!

Without zooming into the max here it almost looks like its all floating in space with the black background. I suppose a flash from a camera would ruin that illusion. How far away did you have ambient light?

Thanks! Yes working with a black background can be neat, but also has its downsides. I never use a flash from the camera when photographing. It reflects too much on the skull.. This photo was taken indoors next to a window with shades halfway down. Even glass windows can reflect too much on the item that is photographed when the outside conditions are too bright by the sun.

When using my phones camera.. I try to take like 5 pics or more of the same angle and setup. When viewing them later on a big screen most of them go straight to the bin, because the smallest movement or wrong lighting can effect it.
