Here is the sole delicious hanging fruit of my labour from yesterday, and I'm quite proud of it. I know jack shit about product photography and guns, so this was quite the learning experience for me, but I really started to enjoy it once I found this "floating" setup with much potential.
This isn't the only usable photo I took yesterday, but most other stuff is quite run-of-the-mill boring photos for training purposes, material for slideshows etc. This particular photo I did mostly for myself, and I think some of you here in The Pew community might appreciate it.
I know this is something I find interesting myself, so I'm showing you the "before" post process version of the image too. I obviously did have to convert it from RAW to jpeg, but other than, the text and removing the serial number, this is how it came out of the camera. Not too impressive, like RAW images rarely are, but I already knew I could really clean this image up and make it look real sharp.
Do note that the gun is well loved, so it's not perfectly clean, even though I showed a toothbrush, rag AND Photoshop to it. Those of you who are into guns and used to looking at them more than I, is there something you would have done differently, other than maybe rotate the image so that the gun is level?
Shot with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 85mm f/1.4.

I like the fact the gun looks a little used, I mean that's what they're for. All of mine have marks on them, wear-points, and they tell a story I think. I tend to look at something, a scratch or mark, and think about when it happened, what I was doing. It's character.
I'll bring a couple of mine when I come over...I'm sure the airlines won't mind.
(It's actually surprisingly easy to fly with guns and ammo - As long as its declared and has paperwork.)
Yeah I like to see the thing has been used! My dad bought a gun from the 70's I think and is proud that it's never been fired. I said that's kind of stupid, you better get out and shoot the damn thing then!
This is the only gun one may want to think twice before firing...
Hahah yeah I would think so!
The old disintegrating gun ploy.
Nice picture here! It definitely looks like it’s floating and pretty cool. I personally don’t mind a gun that’s got wear marks and what is called patina, or proven life of it. I think it gives it more of an interesting nature to it so that we know it’s not just sitting in a case. There’s a time and place for that and I don’t think modern guns really need to do that.
Thanks! I would have preferred a brand spanking new gun for a clean shot like this, but if the backdrop was more rugged then a gun with patina would work better.
In the matter of look and style, Glock outdoes an ordinary pistol. Young people prefer to have a Glock and wasr 10 for sale with less price. The custom design it as per their own accord. Many companies have come ahead to make your customized designed glocks.
