A knife can be a tool, a weapon, an utensil, or a piece of art. It can be a toy or an accessory. Sometimes it can be all of these at once. In this case I just wanted to take a photo of a knife where the edge is shining. At least that was the original idea. Once I started setting the shot, I started playing with it a bit more. A black apron provided a background. While my big soft box provided the main light, I used a LED flashlight to highlight the 'crystal' on the top. LED doesn't mix well with my soft box light, but its blue cast was perfect here as the 'crystal' was blue, so they matched nicely.
Even with all the effort in setting the shot, I still had to post-process it later to make the background blacker and remove the word 'CHINA' from the blade.
And I thought it is going to be a simple and fast shot. :)

Ножеви ми нису специјалност, али мени ово изгледа као јатаган који су некада давно турци користили. Знам само да ово није онај који је Хајдук Станко користио за освету јер вала није нимало туп. Није баш за бријање, али ни за играње. Било како било - слика је оштра. :)
