Pic of new Colt Commander

[rblack]

Just got this last week and thought I'd post a pic. A couple of mods so far and maybe more to come later.

Very nice, Rod!

TFL has some of the best photographers I've seen. Maybe love of the subject is an incentive....

Thanks Blackhawk,

I'm getting better, but still have a long way to go to compete with some of the others on TFL.

 

[Ledbetter]

Sorry

Saw your photo and couldn't help attaching my own, older Commander.

Nice guns. Shoot safe.

Regards.

Very nice. I've been jonesing for a Combat Commander for a while now...thanks a lot for reinforcing the addiction.

Nice looking Colt Ledbetter, keep the pics coming.

Which is sometimes irritating to those of us who don't have top-notch equipment. Sometimes folks will whine if the pictures aren't as clear as others.

Any gun pics are a welcome sight. It isn't a competition. Last I heard, this was a gun forum, not a photography school.

The secret

is propping the gun up on something small, like a film canister. Then you're shooting something "three dimensional."

Also, photgraphy is painting with light. Use the light to make the photo more interesting, or highlight details. Look at my Commander photo and see how the light brings out the rollmarks.

The absolute best detail is brought out by filtered, reflected or other indirect SUN light.

What I use is a Canon digital Elph (S330) that now costs around $300. Any quality digital camera will do. 640x480 resoution is all you need.

Oh, the other secret is that with a digital camera, you can take 20 pictures and throw away all but two. At no additional cost.

We love gun pictures.

Nice looking Colt there rballi.

JIH, All my pics are taken with a Toshiba PDR-M25 digital camera which I picked up at Costco for $200. I did do a little research before I bought and this was suppose to be a good one. (It is)
