Sorry for hijacking your thread but may I ask what camera / settings did you use for this shot? I really like it, this turned out very nice.
Overall it's a super nice cue and good luck for trading for a PFD!
Probably macro mode, which is for close-ups. Some cameras use a magnifying glass or a flower as an icon for this mode if it has one. Put the camera 4"-6" from the subject when using.

Hello Mr H,
I hope all is well! I know about macro mode, I (almost) always use it when taking pictures of cues, but I was curious this time if the picture was taken with a bridge or a DSLR camera and if the latter is the situation then what kind of a lens has been used. What has me interested is the great difference in between the background and the sharp area - it makes me think that a very low aperture setting has been used, somewhere around 2.8 or even lower.
WOW, waaay off topic, good luck with your search
Thank you and no worries on the thread jack. It keeps it at the top right! :thumbup:
The shot was taken with my Nikon D80 with a Nikkor AF-S 18-135mm lens. ISO set at 1000 @ F5
I hope that helps. I do a lot of this kind of work but usually it's not on cues.
Well, apparently I could catch the smell of this kind of equipment - that shot really is beautiful. It is easy to see the expertise.
Thanks for the answer and the detailed setup.

Thanks David.
I'm not sure about my expertise, I just get lucky sometimes.
Bump to the top. I've had a few offers but nothing that makes me want to pull the trigger just yet.
Anyone have a PFD for trade???

Saturday bump....

Check ebay. It is a steal.

Nick,
I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting. I looked on Ebay and there aren't any PFD's listed.
Duc had a Titlist listed for a while but it's been sold.
I had a dealer offer me another PFD Titlist conversion but I'm looking for something a little different as I already own an Ebony Titlist conversion from Paul.
Bump. Good luck finding a PFD.
The Nikon 60mm macro lens is also excellent for this sort of work, especially if you have a tripod and a remote.

I understand that the 105mm Micro is a great lens as well, though I don't have one.

PFD = Quality/Playability
I hear what your saying about some other cue makers and how you prefer to carry Pauls' work in your bag. I'm currently having a cue made for me by Paul and he has been a true professional to deal with in every sense of the word! Now if we can just get someone on this thread that has a PFD for trade....
Bump for a guy in need

Thanks man.
Chuckles has a Davis blank PFD that I am trying to work a deal out for. I believe they both sold for around the same money so I feel it's a fair deal for both of us.
If anyone feels any different then please feel free to chime in. I could be wrong here.
