I got a new Nikon D3000 for a graduation present and it is my first venture into an SLR camera. Of course, the first thing I did was get some gun porn!
Feel Free to post some of your own gun porn in the thread as well! 
My GF took this picture. I thought she did quite well, being her first time photographing guns:

The girlfriend's picture is better than your pictures...
 Seriously though, just some friendly criticism, some things you might want to do is up your ISO so you can turn up the shutter. Looks like it was a little slow, leading to motion blur. I don't usually go for all the photoshop filters and such but it's personal preference. Enjoy your camera! They're almost as addicting as guns!

All I've got handy for gun porn is this.
I was at the range today with my new SIG-556 Classic. My camera is nowhere near as nice as yours is, but it does have a nice Zeiss lens on it. ETA: P.S. the picture your GF took is awesome. It captures the "bar of soap" texture of the polymer Glock very nicely.

They're almost as addicting as guns! I'm always open to criticism. It is really hard to get clear pics with the low lighting I have. I've only had it a couple of days so I'm still trying to figure out how to get better pics. Her picture is quite good though. I really did think it was better than almost all of the pics i've taken so far. Does turning the ISO up automatically turn up the shutter speed, or is that something I have to do seperately? About the only experience I've ever had w/ a camera, is w/ a little sony point and shoot.

Dont take this the wrong way....
The only good ones were the last three. At first I thought this thread was a joke since the other pictures looks like you were using a cell phone. From what I have learned using my brothers SLR'ish camera, none of the auto settings or presets work at all, you basically NEED to go full manual. |

get a tripod. that way you can run a slow shutter without blur. or at least use rifle shooting techniques to stabilize camera (such as resting camera on a bag or something)

As a rule of thumb, I usually only use Photoshop to do what I used to do in a darkroom: Conservative contrast and brightness adjustment. You can also mess with the color to a certain degree, but Jesus, you went overboard.
the original photo of the 1911 looks SO much better. Just tweak the contrast a TINY bit, and you're there. |

German late war produced FN Browning model 1922 
Japanese Type 99 rifle made at Jinsen Arsenal in Korea 
Large US Army cannon at Battery Hearn on Corregidor Island, shortly after capture by Japanese in May, 1942. Japanese photo.

The 505 exhibit is awesome, and anyone who hasn't seen it should consider making the trip. I drove a few hundred miles each way to see it a few years ago.

Composition is mostly decent, lighting could be better but you seem to mess with that in photoshop. Overall I'd say you have a good eye. Now get out there and learn to do some manual HDR

Eureka, you've done it! At long last, mankind has captured and documented the "aura", actually the electromagnetic spectral densification, that surrounds the Glock 19 in particular, and all Glocks in general. This is almost certainly the reason Glock owners have always been just a little cooler than the under privileged who are forced to carry 1911s, and now we finally understand the actual mechanism that makes this undeniable truth. Nice work, bro. There might be a Nobel Prize in this for you. |

This image creates a very moody atmosphere, with a stark texture overlaid with subtle hints of mystery. The viewer can almost hear the tinkling of spent shell casings hitting the ground, as the 1911, resplendent in her glory, acts as a mute witness to the events just prior to the exposure. (There, how did I do? Does that sound like I could be a "Gun Porn Art Critic"? ).
