Agree agree agree..... on the photos, have you considered changing you background to blue for the weapons shots. I know the targets are your current background but I am told that blue brings out firearms , especially those with great furniture, much better..... maybe a test !....:o)

I’ve got some light blue foam packaging sheets. I’ll give it a try right away. Thanks.

I took your advice, and see some positive results. Unfortunately, there was only one blue object I could find that would fit. Here's the CZ 452:

And the CZ 455:

It's still not as good as seeing it in real life, but that blue seems to fake out the camera enough for more to show through.

I'll be looking for some appropriate blue background, and use some high-quality wax to cut down the glare from overhead lights. A thin coat just to kill the shine, then buff it back up when done.

I've worked with slave strobes, diffusers, indirect lighting, etc. in some of my previous jobs. I'm not into all that happy horsesh1t now, I just want good pictures with the least fuss. It's not like I'm being paid for something that will go on the cover of some glossy magazine.

Oh, and a professional photographer once told me the hardest thing in the world to photograph properly is ice cream. :)
