Well, actually it`s my new camera.:o Since it`s my first digital I figured I`d try it out. (Constructive) Criticism welcome.:D

The top is a Model 28-2 I picked up about a month ago. The grips aren`t original. They`re new ones I got at a gunshow.

The middle is a Model 58-2 I got a couple of months ago. Well worn but shoots great.

The bottom is a 65-3 I also picked up a couple of months ago. It`s now my main carry piece. Most of my training and street experience is with a 4" Model 10 so this one fits like a glove. :D

The camera is a Nikon I got from a guy I know from the net. Brand new and the price was right. I don`t have much use for the high end cameras some of have but I know the pics are better with those.

You have good taste in round guns.

Is it me or is this photo out of focus? I too have a Nikon digital camera (Coolpix 880) and I've only had marginal success with close-ups. My main problem is getting enough light!!

[dinosaur]

Rut, mine is a Coolpix 2100. I`ve always had problems with closeups. Maybe I`ll get better with practice.

Dino,

You have a better model than mine by the sound. I've never really taken the time to figure this thing out correctly, so one of these days I'm going to read the manual!!


:)

Yeah, me too. Thank god for quick start instructions.:cool:

You need more light—lots more light. It's extremely difficult to shoot blued guns along with nickel-plated or stainless. I've found it helps to shoot blued guns against dark backgrounds, nickel-plated and stainless against light: the reduction in contrast seems to reduce exposure problems. Camera-mounted flash units don't seem to work with guns at all well.

A note of caution: N frame Smith & Wessons multiply while you're not looking.

Y'know, I opened the thread and skimmed... "Yeah, okay, Highway Patrolman... Something, something... a four-inch fixed sight K-frame... okay... the usual, and... WHAT!?! A 4" Model 58?!?"

Heyyy.... nice start on a Smittie collection, there. :cool:

[dinosaur]

More light huh? Thanks for the tip.

Tamara, a slight correction. It`s the start of the N frames.:D The 58 was sort of my Holy Grail. I have a few Ks.

Take pictures. LOTS of pictures. See what works and what doesn't work. As Bruce Lee said about the martial arts, "Use what works.".

Ask questions. LOTS of questions. We have quite a few expert pistoleros and picture takers around here. They are glad to help you with your questions.

Buy more older S&W revolvers. LOTS of older S&W revolvers. They are great firearms.

Repeat all three steps as necessary.

Constructive criticism over. You are doing good. Keep going.

:D
