been playing with the flash and reflector.

Good job/nice pic.

It worked!

Nice rifle. I have an 8x60S Mike McCabe built for me that's going to look like that some day.

Nice picture!
I've noticed you and TC and others do a good goob with pictures of rifles...Question?

What kind of camera and lenses are you useing?
Do you have a special set up for lighting, can a person get quality pictures without a pro set-up?
I can never get the stock colors right, and have some trouble with glare and getting most of the gun in the picture and still get good detail of the metal work!
My daughters boyfriend is learning to do it professionaly, we (he) is still playing with what I want as far as good rifle photos, has what I say is a very good camera. Any books on still photos for rifle pictures,or something close that to that to help him and me out!
Thanks...

I started taking wrist watch pictures under flourescent lights with a tracing paper diffuser using a nikon coolpix n990 - 3.3meg camera. For web size pictures, I can't really beat them today. That was in 2001. So it's not really the equipment.

Manual white balance helps.
wide angle <28mm equivilent for rifles.
If you don't use flashs you'll need a lot a lights.

Here's an older one that's under a 4 bulb 4ft fourescent with 2 2ft 2 bulb light in front...a lota light.
Try to keep the straight line at 90deg to the frame.
