Not the best picture, but this is what I am rocking now days.

I was previously rocking a different round 5 set.

I have to say ... this color scheme looks really great.
Your pics makes me regret to not have being a part of this groupbuy but then I look after the profile and ... I feel better.

It would be so cool with regular/normal profile keycaps.

I finally feel like I took a decent picture. Picked up a tripod for real cheap and it really made a difference . Just need to work on my post-processing. The Zealio stems are a bit blue.

Not so much blue in the end. What do you guys use for post-prod? Lightroom? DarkTable?

The color is a bit off, but I captured the fit and texture of my caps well!

Finally finished replacing the MX Reds on my Majestouch with fully tuned 62g Gateron Blacks. Have a *ton* of respect for people that tune switches now, lots of work goes into spring swapping, stickering, lubing switches and stabs, not to mention the desoldering/soldering in this case:

Honestly I think they're on par or even better. It's pretty unfair. I also never realized how effective lubing Costar stabs was at eliminating their rattle.

This is a picture I kept on my camera for a while and I decided to put it here. It is not a picture directly related to a keycap or a keyboard but it is associated with our community. This is the drawer in my room where I keep all my stuff in.

I'll try to put myself a bit more into photography. I need to practice.

Same here but the leather around the hole on mine is thinner than yours. Anyone know how I can reinforce it? Or if I even need to? I have no clue how strong leather actually is.

I doubt the leather would ever rip, but you could use grommets

With my flash I usually keep it somewhere around here

When I'm using a light box the ISO usually goes up a bit since it's a tiny bit darker and I'm at f 13/14/.

And then there's me trying to take a picture with only monitor light:

Now I need to learn to actually use some editing software :p

Tripod, lots of light (for standard product shots), iso 100, play with aperature and shutter speeds for desired effect.

Longer exposures result in more saturated colors, so stick with low ISO and a moderate f-stop, and use a tripod and remote shutter to avoid motion blur. If you don't have a remote shutter, use the timer.

Also, everyone likes a good shallow DOF but don't overdo it. Keep the aperture around f/8 or so.

I have a remote, the only think i'm half decent at is astrophotography, and only because i have a really nice mount from my tripod haha.

Solid advice on DOF! A better tripod would probably do me well though. Thanks for the advice!
