I have to say that I picked up a number of VERY useful tips on this thread ! As I had mentioned I was purchasing the PVC pipe for the light box per plans on the link provided in an earlier post. Well I modified it a bit and got it all completed. Bought some oak tag paper for background. Total cost was around 45 dollars. I also actually opened the camera manual and read it. Found out it has a macro function ! Also played around with the white balance. Because I was using CF Daylight bulbs rated at 6500K I had to do a custom fix. I bought a grey card and calibrated the white balance. Also broke out the tripod. Putting these four things together I took some shots. Well I think I got some pretty nice results...Haven't done my fire sticks yet but here is a sample of air guns and knives...KSAIL should enjoy this...I included my Randalls !


IZH 46M .177 Air Pistol


SIG 229 Airsoft Pistol


Ontario Knives XM-1


Randall Knives Model 16 Diver


Randall Knives Model 14 Airman


Randall Knives Model 19 Bushmaster


Chris Reeve Knives Shadow IV

Took this one on my back deck last weekend.  Bright 'n' sunny day.  The original shot actually showed some of my wood decking.

Canon S5 IS

Aperture - f/3.5
Shutter Speed - 1/403 sec (that's a weird #)
Focal Length - 72mm
ISO - 80

Post work done in Photoshop converting it to B&W and cloning out the serial # and some background stuff.

No offense Hotrock but now it looks like a 'dealer' shot.  I, personally like pics where I see some of the 'guy behind the camera'.  You know, basement background or 'off the back deck', etc..  I can get the 'perfect' shot of a gun on any manufacturers site.
