My first 1911, most of my other pistols are 'plain' so i figured id make this one stand out...well i guess actually Murdoc did that.
Very nice, but I think a different watch is needed...

No worries. When you cut/paste the picture link before you paste left click the yellow button that looks like it has a mountain on it. Just paste the link into the window that opened. It should look like it has
were you trying for this?
Nice Macro shots. What setup are you using? Actually, beautiful detail. Or are these taken by someone else? Anyway, wish I could take macro shots that good.
The pics of Singer #1 above are from an auction house in the states, I believe the pistol will sell around $100,000U.S. so they better be taking excellent pics 
No a bad pics of the watch!! I gotta experiment a little more with taking pictures of my pistols, I know I could do better but haven't had time to play with the camera lately.

Yes I thought that was a professional pic. It's hard to get the lighting right. If not enough, you get the yellowing like you see of the watch. Oh well. I love taking pics.
That's amazing detail on that gun. I bet his lens costs 10x more than all my camera equipment

You'd be surprised at the amazing results you can get using a good tripod, that can allowe overhead shots (like the gitzo explorer I have, or any of the manfrotto XPROB series (same parent company)) and a decent lens. I bet that yes, they had some pro equipment for that photo, but you could get close to that with good lighting, a good tripod, remote shutter release (so you don't get the shakes lol), and a mid DSLR setup
There's hope for us hobby photographers! haha

Here is my new storage solution and attempt at better photography.
Tried my 50mm lens and seems to get better results, I should have used it before.
For storage of the pistols I decided to go with the reproduction factory boxes from protectagun. They are very cheap, stackable, durable, and the double wax paper keeps the oil on the pistols. They also have a cool authentic look. I put a couple layers of wax paper under the gun, and usually the mag sits between two layers of paper so it can't damage the gun sliding around.
Let me know what you guys think!!
