Re: Firearm Photography
Yup, I see this one too. Still don't see the previous ones though. For what it's worth, my image on page 1 was an older one from photobucket as well.

Re: Firearm Photography
I saw it earlier today but now it's gone. I wonder what happened?

Re: Firearm Photography
Looks great C-dub. Both the pic and the subject matter.

Re: Firearm Photography
I think it’s a good idea to have pics of all your firearms, even the ones you don’t own anymore. I usually like to have a couple of pics from both sides and a close up of the serial number. I think tit’s a good idea for insurance purposes and in case of theft, fire, etc. I keep all the pics stored in a few different places along with any paperwork I have from sales or purchases.

Re: Firearm Photography
For me, I usually try to get the background at least similar to what I'm taking a picture of. Some contrasting difference is good but not too much. Cameras are not as sensitive as our eyes so if you put a black gun on a white background the camera will expose for the overall image and there will probably not be very much detail in the gun. This is because the camera sees all the white and exposes for that and the under exposes the gun. The opposite would be true with a stainless gun on a black background, possibly over exposing much of the gun. All this assumes automatic exposure cameras and can be overcome to a large extent by setting the exposure manually (if your camera has that capability) for the item you wish to highlight. I also normally don't use a flash if the pic is taken with a phone or camera with a built in flash as this often causes reflections directly back into the lens. Don't know if I'm explaining this right but I've found it works best for me. I'm anxious to hear what others have to say on this topic so I can pick up some new ideas.
