Old school is cool. I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Pictures are like shooting guns. The person doing the shooting is a big part of how good the results are. Good equipment just makes it easier. Most modern cameras are capable of that and then there is photo editing to help out.
I do realise you were paying DustyGmt a compliment.

@Mn Fats Well my wife says the same thing, lol. She always says I edit my pics to make her look "maximum fabulous". Lol. Just the camera on my Samsung S20 but my photo editor app is responsible for the quality more than anything I believe....
Anyway, when I would try to upload pics on here in the past it would always say "file too large to upload" so I needed to resize them and knowing nothing about that kind of stuff I found the first reputable app that would allow me to resize and edit. It's called "Photo Editor" and it's free. I just started playing around with it beyond just resizing normal pics to be able to upload on THR and you can change the contrast and add frames, vignette, brightness, color, etc... it's really not too hard to improve your pic quality. Honestly if I can do it anybody can.....
This is what the App icon looks like and once you download the app it's actually pretty intuitive and you can reduce the file size and add a lil flare to your pics pretty easily...

Pics are a chore for me to post, but I think my Walther PPK-S probably qualifies as "old school" as it's not a plastic one. I enjoy shooting it as well.

Yeah I have always had a tendency to go with whatever interests me the most at any one given time. You may have noticed a trend of mine for Colt 1911s in their various configurations; back in the day it was mainly S&Ws for your revolvers and Colts for your semi-autos. Sometimes I have gone off the beaten path and dabbled with guns from Beretta, Browning, Walther, H&K, MAB, Manurhin, Star, Astra, and a Benelli B76 (man, did that gun have a lot of parts for a single stack 9mm.)!

Thinking about it I don't own anything new or composite. Everything is old school. Well my AR guns may not be quite old school but...
Left to right two Colt SP1 with triangular handguards since I am old and nostalgic. A colt match target. a slab side mix master and my old Armalite AR10.
Handguns all wood and steel, same for rifles. I have a thing for 1911 guns. I just gravitate to the older stuff.

A T-series Hi-Power made in 1968 and a C-96 made in 1913. Both unfired after leaving the factory. The insides of the C-96 are gooped with cosmoline. . Both grade out at 99 %. The stock for the Mauser is matching. The missing lanyard loop does distract from its value.

Ok, I’m not home but I think I have them all counted and the percentages compiled…maybe.
15 of my handguns are polymer framed… making up 25% of the total number. Of the poly framed handguns, all are semi autos.
8 of my rifles are polymer stocked, making up 20%. I didn’t count two that were polymer stocked but now wear wood laminate stocks; a Model 70 7mm Rem Mag and a Ruger American .22 WMR. All of my polymer stocked rifles are semi autos.
I have one polymer stocked shotgun, making up 5% of my total. This one is a pump 870.
It took less time than I thought.
Stay safe.

Springfield. Serial number 536XXXX. Which I believe puts it somewhere between '54 and '55.
I shot off a few Enblocs today and the M worked well as a "holder" for pics. Now I need an International Harvester Garand.
