Excellent.... the veins of the wood are wonderfully delineating the muscles of the hand. Very impressive carving work of art, Eelco!

Location
I took this photo in our workshop in Enkhuizen, Holland.Time
It was about 2 PMLighting
I used the natural light that came through the window at the north side.Equipment
I didn't use any extra equipment, only my Lumix DMC-TZ100, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket.Inspiration
This is my own hand which I carved out of a piece of applewood. I took this photo to show our products in our website.Editing
I did a little post-processing in Lightroom, I added a slight vignette to make the hand stand out a bit more.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag of equipment at all, only my Lumix DMC-TZ100, a wonderful intelligent automatic pocketcamera wich practically fits in my backpocket. It shows that you do not have to use expensive and big cameras to achieve nice results...Feedback
Be careful to avoid direct sunlight when you use the natural light from a window for example. In our workshop we have windows to the north, that is the best light. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... And most of all, take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one, once you get home and open your laptop when the magic of today's digital world begins... I always crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop and edit the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
