Not sure on the manufacturer of it but I shall find out for you.

Since there's no pictures yet... I'm counting this as page ownage again lol.

Little black and white love.

Wow, great photos! Your watermarks are very cool as well.

Once again, my $.02, take with a grain of salt and all that... But here are my thoughts! :)

I'm going to re-embed your photos so they're in-line with my comments and easier for you to read, since they're on the bottom of last page.



Too much 'clarity' here: it looks like the gun is glowing in these two; it makes the photo look fake, like heavily-processed HDR's.


I like the new edit of this one. :)


I like this composition and your color-work again.  I do think it needs more light on the camera-side of the gun, though.  If you had just enough to be able to read the rollmarks on the slide, and see the serrations more clearly on the rear of the slide, I think this would really pop?  Not a ton of light, because I like how pronounced the lines that are there are, from the top-light, but being able to vaguely see the text but not quite make it out makes it almost look like dust.  Nitpick: a larger or more diffused top light source might help the photo, too, since the highlight on the slide stops about halfway down.  If that went the full-length of the gun it'd be more pleasing IMO.


Good work re-arranging this one. I slightly miss the bokeh and color processing you did on the other shots like this, but it's solid.


What was the focus of this intended to be? The grips? Maybe the knurling on the front strap, or the trigger?  I think you need to crop this one either tighter, to focus on a certain part or parts, or looser, to focus on the 'gun' as a whole.  Cutting just the very tip off takes away from the photo IMO.  


Great composition on this one.  If I were being nit-picky, I'd ask for just a bit more light on the side of the slide again but as-is, this is my favorite of this set. I like it a lot.

Anyway, hope this helps, keep it up!  Also, you mentioned you're using your phone for processing?  I'm curious what app/program?

No new photos from me today. :(   Someone on another forum showed me another place that's shared one of my photos though: http://military-life.tumblr.com/post/91895946683
I'm pretty flattered that they've posted it, because there's some really great stuff that they share over there, but no link? Not even my name? Bummer.  Someone suggested I use a bigger watermark, but mine looks pretty hideous larger.  Anyone good at making watermarks willing to put one together for me?  Guys like Munition, Primer, RXM, a lot of you here; you see one of your photos and you instantly know who took it.  Even if you could read my watermark, if you google " A. Stauffer Photography" it doesn't really get you anywhere, haha.

Thank you. I am using VSCOCam and Snapseed for editing. I send the pics from my Canon 6D straight to my Samsung Galaxy s5 and edit them from there. Benefits of having built-in WiFi in your DSLR, right? Only bad thing is that they export as 1920x1080 instead of 5 thousand something res. Not a big deal, but it's easier.

As for some of the glowing with the first two, I did that to kind of put the attention on the weapon, instead of any ugly backgrounds. I am literally taking the pics in my living room, using the crap ceiling lights as my lighting. I'm actually impressed with myself on how I got a few nice photos out a bad environment for photos. Thank you for you two cents, I really appreciate it. You can critique my photos any time you like, it really helps me. Thanks!

My ongoing Project 308 featuring the CMT billet upper and lower.

 

Yeah one of mine was on that tumblr page.

For the most part I don't care as long as it doesn't end up on commercial use and they are making money of it. Small watermarks are good, you can even just fade the transparency and hide them like a lot of folks do.

ETA: I am starting to get better at this, so I am going to need a watermark soon.

photobomb with some of my favorites

Finally got some quality paper backgrounds, rather than using wood or carpet. Taken using natural light from outside.

NICE!

I like this picture most of all.
Quite a bit of shadow, but still a nice shot none the less.

Nice rifles, but not exactly sure this qualifies for the thread.

Has been removed, as should yours.

And an old one for contribution.

Tell me thats not Ryan Gosling? lol!

Ownage! CTR and CRKT.  Nice combo no?

Rainy day at the range!

Also two very important EDC items.

Wish the lighting was better on the second one, was the best I could do while on the workbench at the shop.

I see you're a fan of Carnikcon

New bag of awesomness

Nevermind, can't get a good pic from photobucket anymore!

Let me know if I'm over posting for this page lol

Sweet pic. Photoshop or fishing line?

photoshop lol. I don't have a reflective infinity backdrop.

What rail covers are those?

Few of my better shots.  Not as focused as I like, still figuring out all my new micro 4/3 stuff after 15 years of using Nikon SLR/DSLR.

Does it singe your arm hairs? Lol Dat flame!

Surprisingly, no.

Window as my only light source.

Sorry to post this again, but on the subject of lighting. This one was shot in the back of my car at night with 3 of my handheld flashlights I use at work wrapped with charmin quilted ultra taped over the lenses. I was pleasantly surprised how well it turned out...

And a picture I have not posted yet of my EDC gear...

Looks great. I might have to steal that TP over the lens trick, pretty crafty.

My avatar was done with a surefire and party plate.

I took this with just the pop-up flash!


Pop-up flash challenge! by Staufhammer, on Flickr


Compliance photo; I still can't decide how I feel about this one.  I really suck at rifle photos.

Flash to the right and to the right/above.  One with a softbox one with an umbrella.  I need more space and bigger lights. Or more lights.  Or just to plan better. I don't really know, but it's frustrating me.

Does this one of my …. fire wood - vintage barbwire - Texas Marshal …. qualify?
