Yeah, with my no-control-over-lighting snapshots, I wind up going for the "Fill a memory card and hopefully get four keepers" approach. Bleh. Someday I'll get some proper lighting gear, and maybe a tripod.
You know what would be better than AR mags on that puppy? A nice HK mag! Got to fondle one of the 2000s at Top Gun on Tuesday. Wasn't a shooter, unfortunately, but nice to touch.
Well I know this ain't go'na sound good, but I may have to use my gun money stash for a new camera soon. However, I'll start saving for another weapon soon after!
Get two tripods and a thin gauzy sheet of some kind to kill the highlight glare. Outdoor lighting looks best on an overcast day, it richens the colors - fake the effect by using open-shade or making it. Basically you're trying to compress the widest range of lighting variables, and squeeze 'em down to something the camera can handle. :-)
$2K worth of Belgian plasticky goodness?
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm more a-drool over the ~$2k-ish handful of American steel. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are nice pics! Lighting is the hardest thing.

ReplyDeleteI just left CCA and blasted the 9mm on the range. Played with the FS2000 too.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are aware of the recall, right?

Tam, just how far are you from Deal's Gap?
ReplyDelete"You guys are aware of the recall, right?"
ReplyDeleteAll those currently shipping already have the fix.
" Tam, just how far are you from Deal's Gap?"
ReplyDeleteAbout 30-45 minutes, depending on the vehicle and the urgency. :)

ReplyDeleteThose are really great shots! What camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteThe limb from last night's storm looked pretty good as a prop!
A Nikon Coolpix 990.
ReplyDeleteIt takes really good gun pics all by itself because it used to be Oleg's, and is therefore still dripping with Magic Gun Pr0n Juju.

ReplyDeleteThanks for answering.

ReplyDeleteThat rounded back of the grip looks nice, one of these days I may have to get an estimate for that on my Kimber.
