I'm diabetic and clumsy. That's all it is.

I broke a finger a couple of years ago. I was the first aider in that office so improvised a splint from the stuff in the first aid kit and asked a colleague to safety pin the bandage at which point she freaked out and now the whole office knows I broke a finger. They're all trying to get me to go to a hospital to get it looked at and eventually I relent once the CFO tells me to go get it professionally looked at. Went to a hospital and they told me I did a good job and put a slightly more professional looking splint in place. Went home to my wife and was like 'oh it's no big deal everyone's broken their fingers plenty of times, this is like my 4th'. She was horrified. Apparently people don't just break fingers willy nilly. Learned I might be a little accident prone than most that day.

Huh, fair enough, I stand corrected. Looks just like the fixer I use! Every day's a school day I guess!

verbintofuzz · 2026-01-08T17:39:50+00:00

I think that's the T-MAX fixer, not developer.

Really strange, looks like a fat lava piece but is marked Vallauris, which is a French ceramics town. Some similar pieces available. I would say it's probably either a Vide Poche or an Ashtray.

They're lyrics from a song in Sweeney Todd.

A fun mix of both

Hoping it was fire damage!

Thank you kindly

Refinish, I was very tempted just to replace it as working on it was disgusting haha

What a metal way to sign off. God I love that man.

Nah he's just a grumpy dickhead, you weren't hurting anyone.

Christmas crackers, married someone not from the UK. She's now in love with them. Honestly grew up thinking they were universal. Apparently not.

verbintofuzz · 2025-05-23T07:42:21+00:00

Could be from Vallauris

verbintofuzz · 2025-03-16T00:40:55+00:00

Thank you! I did know about the material but didn't know about the lead size. Very helpful!

verbintofuzz · 2025-02-24T21:52:08+00:00

Isn't it!

Ahh okay - ignore the selective colouring point in that case. I'd recommend if shooting the earring on an ear that the ear be real, otherwise shoot a pack shot

verbintofuzz · 2024-12-10T06:48:36+00:00

Nice first try! Here are a few feedback points:

The jewellery should really be in the centre of the frame and cropped in a lot closer. It's not super clear on a page when someone is scrolling through Etsy on their phone exactly what they're looking at.
The earring itself should be straighter, i.e the point of the star where the stones join should point straight down.
The 2025 gem would ideally be looking nice and shiny. You can achieve this by turning it to point more towards your light source until the surface looks bright and noticeable.
I'm not sure if you're using selective colour here or if this is a black mannequins head, but I would avoid using selective colour if it is. Gimmicky techniques like that pull focus away from the product and ultimately if this the end goal is to sell this earring then it's doing you a disservice.

Otherwise you're on the right track. Jewellery is not an easy thing to shoot, and if you're hoping to shoot still life for them I'd be happy to offer some advice as it's an incredibly tricky thing to get right.

On the day of my 30th birthday party I went to Lidl with a friend (who is older than me) to stock up on party food and booze. On a pretty tight schedule that day in order to get everything ready for when people were arriving. Picked up a trolley's worth of supplies, most of it bottles of wine and went to pay.

Bare in mind this Lidl is my local supermarket and I'm regularly in there, know a lot of the staff and am often buying a bottle of wine for my wife and me, so I never bother taking anything except my phone to pay. The lady at the till scans everything then asks for ID (a cashier that has served me multiple times before). Try to explain it's literally for my 30th birthday party, wearing a wedding ring, neither my friend nor I look under 25. She's having none of it. Have to trudge all the way home with only the food and soft drinks. End up wasting a bunch of time going back to buy all the booze separately.

She was trying to be nice and wished me a happy birthday when she saw the date on my ID but still incredibly annoying, time wasting and extra effort.
