Not a problem.

You might check to see if the camera lens is clean. I had an old knockabout camera that still took good pictures and someone asked how I do it. Usually, lighting and getting too close is the problem. I like indirect sunlight and making sure I can measure off just how close I can come in.

A friend recommended a blue or grey background for most guns. Anything in the reds, yellows or oranges make a gun look rusty. The background I’m using now is blue paper shop towels.

Yeah the camera itself isnt too bad.. but its a cheapo digital cam from walmart. Does great for movies and not so great for still photos.

I may have to invest in a better one heh as I like taking pics of my guns and have some nice ones, but with this camera its almost always a losing deal..

Also it is super dark in the home office (and I like it that way haha) so I need to find a place where I can take better pics with more light.

Strange.. I just noticed that my pic I took went away. Ill have to try and hunt it down and post it on my server instead of a free hosting service :)
