Nice video, of stunning blades. I.m a hobby photografer, so know the hurdels og light and reflex on tasks like this type of "Portraits" Your video/photos came out exelent Best regards from Denmark.
I saw your subscriber count and thought I read 244k my first thought was "I guess I've found a hidden gem!". You guys have interesting subject matter and your production quality/editing are on-point. I can't wait to see you hit your first million subs 😁. Please keep up the good work 🙏, I'd also love to see a live stream some day.
Very enjoyable and informative, thank you. Some believe it better to use microfiber cloth and pure alcohol to clean a freshly polished blade, rather than Uchiko.
Photography is such a sciencce in itself. With blades it's fascinating how their microstructure itself manipulates all the things you want to control in photography. Like that small angle on the top part of the blade making the spine look black even though the whole blade shines like a mirror on video camera. Have you ever experimented in taking multiple shots in the same position but adjusting lighting and then blending different pictures together (or editing just parts of the picture) to try and achieve the essence of the blade you see in your eyes and in your mind? Or do you feel like the most honest way is to take the best single picture in any position and not alter it in editing more than fine tune? Like with guitars some photographs are beautiful or totally dull, the color might even change on the finish in the pictures (the different surface shapes, wood patterns and multiple layers of paint/stain/lacquer), and sometimes none of the individual pictures represents the actual guitar in your hands. And I've noticed the same with nature photography, all the decisions in camera settings bring up and tone down different things and no matter how beautiful you make it look, a single shot rarely reflects what your eyes saw. And I guess it really depends a lot on the purpose of the picture too: is it artistic shot to be admired, is it a sales listing trying to honestly show what it's like and so on. So fascinated by yet another interesting video about different skills a person needs to start mastering to do what they love. And the amount of equipment necessary for these shots!
May I ask what is that application used on the computer after you've taken the photos? May I also kindly ask what is the best photo editing software for Pictures taken for Nihonto?
It depends on your photography skills, but according to my friend who is a professional sword photographer, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are the best.
Pure metal art. Very nice photos.

Sorry, one more comment/question. What is it you strike on the blade when you wipe it down to clean it, it looks like talcum powder?
This is a type of very fine natural stone powder similar to the stones used to polish the sword.
