Pelikan M1000 Sunlight and Moonlight side by side
Got enough of the sparkly stuff already? Then bear with me just a little longer for I've got some more comparison shots to show.

As you can see, the Raden stripes on the Sunlight, although narrower, catch the light more readily and give a more vivid reflection. The Moonlight gives a more peaceful overall impression. (Just came across an eBay listing where the seller had a wild mix of Sunlight and Moonlight pictures in his auction. The auction was about the Sunlight only. Zzzz... It's not that hard to see the difference, is it?)

I haven't managed to take a really good photo of the artist's signatures so this will have to do. As you can see the pens were done by different workshops/artists. It doesn't bother me but it's still a weird thing to do when you're planning to issue a duo of pens.

So which one do you like better? I find it hard to decide.
If only you could get the pics a bit darker...
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, of course. The pens are lovely, to be sure, but I can't see enough of either of them to proffer an opinion.
Hmm, are you possibly using a tablet or mobile? Those usually use rather high contrast display settings which can lead to visibility problems with low key pictures - also the colours can seem too saturated. With a calibrated TFT you shouldn't have any trouble. :)
DeleteActually, I'm using a MacBook Pro with a matte screen (slightly lower contrast than with a glossy screen), and the pens are visible -- though the 3rd pic is mighty dark. To really appreciate and evaluate the pens themselves, as opposed to appreciate the aesthetics of the pics, a light colored background would be more useful IMO.
