Trying new backgrounds, a few pictures

[sabre]

I wanted to try some different color backgrounds for my S&W shots so picked up some colored paper. Today was a good day to keep busy taking pics so here are a few with the new backgrounds.

CRPD 681-3

28-3

Outstanding photos. The paper background works.

Bill:

Love the gray background contrast with the 24-3 (28-2 ??) !

GREAT photo !

Those grips look like Wenge??? Who made them for you?

As usual Bill your photos are disgustingly Beautiful.
It's almost like you are trying to show off!

Please keep 'em coming.

Just beautiful. Extremely crisp focus and detail. Great depth of field too. Very fine lighting. I can only aspire to this quality. Well done and thanks for sharing. God Bless, Marc

Thanks guys

Jerry, it's actually a 28-3; I'm a little distracted today and described it as a 24-3. The grips were on it when I got it. Interestingly, they had a price sticker on the back that was printed "Ajax Grips". I kind of think they are S&W factory as they have silver washers and proper medallions.

sjstill, yes, these were taken in a home made lightbox.

Now I notice unpinned barrel !

I am very interested in the grips. I would love to see a photo of the left panel and the back of the grips if you ever have that gun out for photos again !

Love that photo ! NICE ! To my own tastes the dark gray is much "classier" than the red !

Thanks for inspiration!!!! I'll be taking better pics too...

Jerry,

I'll try to get a picture of the back of the grips; here is the left side.

Bill:

Thank you !

Well the wood is too light and closed grain for Wenge and the color is wrong for Bocote ! Not sure what it is !

Very pretty though !

GREAT PHOTOS on the gray !

Great photo's!

 

[S&W-Keeper]

Good job, nice backgrounds.

 

[catdad]

Great guns and excellent pic's.

Jerry, here are the grips. FWIW, they look a little more red in these pictures than in person, the earlier shots of them on the gun are more "color correct". In the dry desert grips tend to shrink some; my most used remedy is the aluminum tape visible on the right panel in the picture of the back of the grips

Hey, I'm a photographer and I'm blown away by these photographs! I did realize it was a lightbox, and some of the best ones are homemade. I'm sure these photos were done by a very respectable DSLR with top-quality glass. My compliments, sir.

 

[sjstill]

Yeah, now that Chief's Special brings it up, what is your camera?

Very nice pics, Bill! Another vote for the grey background ... and I love the 4" HD!
