Gun Photo How To... (Page 7 of 8)

I wish I had access to all of the lamps and stuff some of you have. :O
I have kind of a makeshift lightbox made out of a $0.99 piece of glossy posterboard from walmart, and I use a Streamlight PT-1L as a light source.

May I suggest, do a sharper manual focus on the muzzle, if possible. Cool pics. |

| I like these a lot, I am a big fan of phtography and do it as a profession. I like the idea of the shot up target I have one, but never thought much of it. I take more pictures of people and less of still objects. Good job. |

Actually, some of my favorite photos were taken with my cell phone. In most cases, a good cell phone is overkill for web work. Stuff I shoot for print needs a higher resolution. 
90% is lighting and composition...and just "being there". That's why I tell new photographers to take an art class...start with the basics. One of these photos was taken with a Canon 5D MkII, the other, an Olympus E3, and the third an Android cell phone. Tell me which is which...

OK, so how'd you do that? |

My most important tip is to always use a tripod. Not having to worry about long exposure times allows you to worry about lighting less.
As a relative beginner I try to work with natural or room light as much as I can. I happened to take this shot last night (critiques welcome). Light was just the floor standing lamp in the room. Canon 40D, 50mm, f4.5

just took this one ten minutes ago.. AMERICA F*** YEAH |
Just added some new pictures of my GLOCK 35. New background with the walnut table came out very good I thought. Good contrast for the gun. |
RIP John Noveske. You are missed & This industry suffers a loss. Prayers for healing for all lives you touched.
Want to buy: 5.45x39 barrel and bolt/BCG and Noveske NSR9 or NSR11.
