In one of my other hobbies, I collect fountain pens. I'm a writer, and it's my experience that a lot of writers enjoy this traditional form of writing with these often beautiful pens.
I practiced taking some photos of one of my nicer pens today, but I can't seem to get the camera to focus on the entire pen, vs. one portion of it. It's fine if the box in the background isn't in focus, in fact, I think that makes the pen stand out more. Any tips? I used a Pentax-A 50mm 2.0 lens for this, so manual focusing. EXIF info should be intact, as there was very minimal PP on these.
