Photographing guns

[blackwolfe]

There are some great photos here.  Nice shootin.
I can't find my copy right now but I have the book "Custom Rifles in Black and White" by Steven Dodd Hughes that has custom rifles that he photographed and worked on many of them.  As the title states the photos are black and white.  There are many fine specimens.  If I remember correctly he gave the photo information along with the custom work information.  Although the rifles are pictured horizontally I believe he photographed the rifles vertically on a dowel rod which should work for handguns also.  His book is available here as well as other places.  This place also sells some very fine firearms.

Hey I figure anything "gun related" is fine. That is another really nice shot ! I am surprised at how many great pictures are out there. Can ya fill us in on what camera, settings, lighting etc you used?

I use a point 'n' shoot Canon S5 IS.  8MP

The clip / bullet specs;

1/60 sec. @ f2.7 with a 6mm focal length and an ISO of 80.  Shot outside in macro mode.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Alright, here's one of mine...  I'm a portrait photographer, and I only photographed this rifle to list it on gunbroker, so I wasn't going for high-level art...

Regardless, here you go...







The laundry on the chair in the third shot is a nice touch, I think...

I think the remote control in the background is particularly applicable to the concept of "reach out and touch someone".
