After two years of using my laptop's integral camera to take shoddy mirror image pictures of my guns I finally bought my first digital camera. The Best Buy chick thought it was odd that a 22 year old had never owned a digital camera, but I put my budget towards better things like milsurps. I'm still new to this, but here are a few pictures of my modest collection.

The camera is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10.

Longbranch No 4. Mk. I*, mismatched but bedded and accurized, a hell of a shooter, stocked with Maple.

NRF No. I Mk. III*, 1917 date of manufacture (I think), was unfired when I bought it, forend matches the nosecap, bolt, and receiver but the butt and handguards are replacements.

The first bayonet is for a K98, it's one of the $80 ones from Marstar. The second is for a Lee Enfield No. I Mk. III.


You take excellent pictuers. Nice close ups.

Nice collection of rifles, too. You seem partial to blondes.

Thanks, the only problem I had was lighting. I'm still not sure what to use; fluorescent bulbs/incandescent/natural/direct/indirect. What can I say, I like them Blonde. ;)


Good stuff. Get yourself a little tripod and use the timer to take pics and you'll be all set. (no flash)

Makes a big difference?
 
Best light is sunlight on an overcast day. Direct sun is too contrasty.

If you ahve to use your flash, especialy on close-ups, put two pieces of masking tape over the flash. It difuses the light.
