Such a great and informative thread that I thought someone deserved a special RKS hat plus our having a little fun with a voting poll for the best photo.
So view the photos above and vote for your favorite. I have tried to name the photo or groups of photos with the member’s name. They are listed in order of appearance above. Apology if I missed someone so let me know.
Best regards,
Rhett

Rhett,
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge those who have contributed to this thread and for offering a hat to best judged. I hope you will agree that those who contributed thus far have shown enthusiasm for the thread as well as wonderful photo skills. Our hope is this thread can remain active with additional participation from those shutterbugs we haven't heard from yet. We all thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share in another passionate hobby along with our Randall knives.

Rhett,
Many thanks for your comments, recognition and support of this Thread. If we can provide a continuous photography dialog that covers a broad range of topics from camera types and digital photo processing to picture scene set-ups and props that supplements Holzinger258's fabulous instructions for posting photos, it will encourage more members to photograph and post photos of their Randall Made Knives. It is amazing the wealth of talent that is right here among the regular Forum participants.
What a great idea! Whoever was the brainchild of this thread had their thinking cap on. I've gone through the pages of all the wonderful photos and look forward to seeing new ones posted too.

Dale,
Where Ya Been?
Are you kidding, It was Warren's brainchild but you are certainly part of the inspiration with all of your great photos which has resulted in a lot of participation. Now there is a place where you can comfortably post Randall Knives and More. Look forward to seeing your photos here as well.
This thread was a great idea. My hat is off to you.
I really admire folks who can take excellent macro shots or portrait photography. I have never been able to do much with lighting. I rely instead on natural light and good composition. I try to catch an interesting scene as it occurs, and I let my camera do the work.
This is what I photograph on the average Saturday when I am closer to home. And it's just as much fun!
