^^^ Most excellent!
I have always preferred pics taken in natural light. View attachment 1032233View attachment 1032234 View attachment 1032235View attachment 1032236
The Colt 1917 was like that when I bought it. It ain’t pretty, but it shoots good.Gunny - what happened to the finish on those two revolvers in post #8 (#2 & #4)?
Where are the mountains? All I see are some hills... (Just funnin' -- my family in Arizona still calls them mountains, so when they come up here I show them actual mountains). But that is a great shot, JCooperfan.The mountains work nicely in the meantime:
Just because there's a bottle in the photo doesn't mean one is mixing alcohol and firearms... I'm sure there's a few of us who may have an unloaded gun nearby to admire whilst indulging in a cocktail hour. ........................................

Just a little background on the picture I posted IN A PHOTO BACKDROP THREAD...:
That particular evening, my family was in quarantine because my wife had covid, and I also had symptoms. I decided togo back in the middle of our property and try to call in a coyote. The bottle was indeed for the cough that I had at the time. Its just as good as cough medicine in my opinion. I had posted earlier that the bottle was for my cough.
Do I drink? Yes. Do I drink in excess? No.
Some people are offended by this prop as well.View attachment 1032585

And the rattler? Was that a one-shot kill, DR505? Very nice pic.
I've used some different hides for backdrops. Most notably, the brown elephant I used for this gun's rig.

You really should never smoke two dissimilar cigars in one sitting.

Phone cameras have gotten really good as of late. Most of mine from the last year were taken with an iPhone 8. The new 12 is even better.
My "CTF" pics don't normally turn out that great so I don't use them too often.
Here's an aged Slim Jim for the Single Six, one of a pair.

The gun is carbona blue. Due to the nature of the process, the steel has a sort of soft, brushed luster. It's more "blue" than modern hot salt bluing but still subtle. The pins and other small parts are nitre blue, which gives a nice contrast.I love the color of that gun, and the way the blued screws contrast against it. What finish is it?
Hahaha!
