here's a question what makes a good dinner pic? |
Food and a gun are the basic requirements. Unnecessary items - like measuring devices and staplers - constitute an automatic 0. Unnecessary clutter sucks too. Great food and a gun are cool, but your entire EBR collection plus two cases of ammo and a couple dozen magazines and some pron take away from the pic as a whole. |
lordtrader's dinner pic was food and a gun. It don't get much more classic than that. Measuring devices belong on reloading benches and in tool boxes. Staplers belong in range bags. Neither has any business in a dinner pic. |

A dinner pic is food and guns. What makes it "good" is harder to describe. I've seen some that I felt were "good" that had cheapo, easy-to-prepare food, while others had fine cuisine. I've seen a whole variety of firearms of different types in "good" pictures. It often boils down to theme, backdrop, composition, lighting, and the way the various elements compliment one another. It helps if the pic "tells a story". Even the words in the description can set a tone. It's just like any other art. Your question is sort of like asking what make an oil painting "good"? There are just too many intangibles. BUT..... don't forget the napkin!! |

A good dinner pic should be just that. Meat, taters, some kind of veggie, gun, knife, and a drink. No need to cram every gun in the safe on the table, one or two will do. Alcohol is optional, as some may have to work the late shift. No measuring devices, staplers, or your freaky bedroom toys. And stop posting those poser, fake, weak-ass dinner pics that don't include taters of some fashion. Everyone knows a meal without taters is just a dressed up snack. Extra points for a desert, preferably pie. |
