Tain Tribute Thread

Wow, those are really great pictures (post #78)

The top one looks a bit like a firework display

I hadn't thought about it that way, but you are right Daniel!

Thank you Daniel!

Thud LT

Is the Thud LT anodized Titanium Franz or is it BeCu?
It looks great with the matching colors of the tritiums.

Daniel,

This is anodized. It has been around here before...

Cary,

That is a beautiful shot of a couple of great looking lights!

I've always liked your Thud lights Cary! I also really like the strong contrast you were able to achieve in that picture. :thumbsup: What did you use as a fill light?

Thanks franz and Dave for the compliment.

Dave, the photo you asked was using nikon speedlight. Most of previous my photos were using my table lamp.

I knew it wasn't just the lighting.

I've tried taking pictures before using a flash, but in my shots, the texture of the lights didn't look as nice. In your shot, the Speedlight was obviously not attached to the camera. How was it mounted? I'm asking all of these questions because a flash is one of the next photography items on my purchase list, and so any information I can get is helpful!

Dave, pm sent. Try to keep this thread on its topic.

This unique Thud LT Rosé was custom anodized by the machine shop owner. He did another anodized in Gold.

The picture above by Franz is representative of the actual color of the light

Thanks for the clarification. Its very well done, so evenly anodized that its difficult to tell that it isn't a raw metal.

It is a beautiful light indeed. Franz is a lucky man!

There are some amazing pictures of amazing lights in this thread.

I don't want to derail the thread from its purpose, but there really doesn't seem to be a photography sub forum I can ask in. Could members taking these pictures show, or describe their setups for photographing these lights? Light box, cloth, glass plates, soft box, lighting, etc.

I'm ok with PM's just to keep it minimized within this thread but others may benefit from it as well.

Again, awesome job! The trits really stand out which looks great.

Thanks.

Actually, there is a photography sub forum here on CPF.

Not sure how I missed that. Doh!

Thanks.

No problem - I also missed it at first. Aside from that, you are welcome to send me PMs with any questions you have about the pictures I've posted.

I was told that it was done with the pretty expensive PVD process, and the coating is pretty hard & durable.

Not the best picture of a Tain but it's my first Piccolo, blue trit, blue glow, mint condition, so nice!

We needed a picture on this page and all of this came today
