What a clever way to showcase a hat, well done Rabbit.

Textural wizardry. :eusa_clap
The last black cherry photo yearns to be in the "Hats On A Stick" thread.

WOW Rabbit..just WOW..what great pics. I HAVE to steal them for my site!!!!
Thank you, Gents, for the nice comments! I highly appreciate your feedback. :yo:
Well, if you really want to - by all means, go ahead and use them.
I can do more pics with other felts, if you're interested. It would be my pleasure, Sir. The first pic (BC hanging from the shed's door knob) shows a little technical slip-up, so I need to re-shoot a series of this perspective in similar light. I have this one from another series without slip-up:
Now why didn't I think of that title!

Lovely pics Rabbit - an a side note, what camera and lens are you using? From the colors, my guess is it starts with N...
How I wish it did start with an N...
Are you sitting down, Sir? Here's my camera:
Obviously, it cannot be used for low-light photography.
I used to do nature photography (close-ups, landscapes, animals, and everything in between) with serious equipment daily for many hours in the analogue days from 1995 to 2001. I used the slide films Kodachrome KM 25 mostly, some KR 64, and perhaps 5% KL 200. No E-6 process films.

At the risk of going slightly away from the topic of VS's
, I have to say that I have been incredibly impressed with the pictures that are possible with a Lumix DMC-TZ8 that I started to use recently. I had decades of using a Contax RTS, and, within its limitations, the little Panasonic is not at all humbled in terms of quality.....Now, back to our scheduled programme..... Great hats, Rabbit (and Art! :eusa_clap).

I asked Art to recreate this Dunlop Duplex that ScottF posted.
This is what showed up in my mailbox yesterday.
I lurve this hat. Thanks Mr. Fawcett.
(Cross-posted in half-breed hats thread.)
But won't the chocolate melt in the Summer sun??
In all seriousness though....what a beauty. I've never seen a two-tone hat before, what a great creation.

Art, thanks so much. This hat is great!. I took the liberty to adapt your ribbon down from the 2 inches to a 1 1/2. It suits me better as I like more crown in my straws. Color of the brim is granite/gray at 2 1/2 inches with a contrasting gray ribbon.
I forgot to take a before shot :eusa_doh: Art sent me this when he was almost done making it. I used his same ribbon. (more pictures next page)

Man, that was really super fast. Art may want to consider changing the name of his business to Lightening Silhouettes ...

See what happens when I get excited about a hat?
Thanks Ale, . What Ale isn't telling is that somehow during shipping the ribbon came a bit loose so he had to either send it back or sew it himself, he chose the latter. Also, it went out of here so fast that I forgot to add the tip sticker which is on the way to Manhattan as I write. I sure hate getting old but then the alternative..well...better to be forgetful.

WOW. I have to look into these. Ale and Art, that is a fantastic hat. I've been fascinated by these hybrids for a few years, and it's amazing to see some in contextual photos. Think it would work with a derby?
By the way, what is that gorgeous homburg behind it, Ale?
