Cue Gallery?

[Still want to shoot]

Most cell phones have a free app thru the play store for photo editing.
And HERE'S the big one and it's a FREE App.
Photo resizer.
How many people here could use that.

Yeah, with iphone I think that is just part of the photo app. I used it recently to resize when i posted for the gilberts cue. my license plate was showing.

Pictures almost never tell the whole story.

You have to lay eyes and hands on a cue to appreciate the workmanship or be sick to your stomach.

Often these two categories of cues look the same in photos.

This is why reputation is so valuable because people can be confident they are seeing what is real. Or that it's funky.

If direct sun lite is to much, a shaded area works great.

A well finished cue gets a glare in almost every non professional lighting.

Looking thru the Gallery lately,
You see pictures of the Points and Veneers at the -A- joint but not to often are the tips of the Points and Veneers shown.
Are they NOT important anymore?
Been wanting to ask this for a while.

I would have to agree with you. I've put up many, many cues in the cue and case gallery. I've always had good shots of the points, both at the wrap, and at the top of the points.

All the best,
WW

Forget finish. That's not what this thread is about!
What's important to show?
This

 

[Michael Webb]

Or this, and which ones do you think the customer and his/her friends care about?

Both those posts are well done, How would the average person like me do that?
What are you using to add numbers and letters to the photos, and the descriptions.
I would like to try that if i post something in the future.

The customer got the whole build, step by step.
I labeled my restorations like that too. I don't post those anymore.

I know my photos were horrible when i posted in the gallery the other day. couldnt seem to get my phone far enough away or at the right angle. lol.

I wish somebody would tell me how to eliminate that damn glare that seems to appear out of nowhere in the finished shot!!
Wasn't in the viewfinder. Lol.
I got gremlins.

Could be some people just can't take a picture. Do you know how many cues I get asked to identify and the pics I get are worse than a bigfoot photo?

Cell phones today, take halfway descent pictures.
More than eneogh to cover the 3 basic area's of the Cue.

And that's a winner!!!

 

[Mensabum]

The above is perfect for the Gallery section.
If I were selling a Cue, I would add more because the buyers would want to see more detail.
Bare with me,
Maybe there's a lesson in here.
IDK
What I've learned about pictures, I've learned here on AZ.

Nice axe my friend!! Whew.

LOL I was responding to two of your posts about such. It wasn't about the finish it was about taking a picture of what you want to show.

Sometimes it's something so simple as the angle of the Camera and or what side of the Cue your standing on.
