The steel frame would better represent the original since Remington never made a brass model 1858 of any type nor did the south make brass frame copys of the 1858 Remington model
if you even care about that sort of thing that is.

Ya ifn you got teh money Id jump on it while it is on sale.
 
You do know that if you strapped on all of these guns at once, and then fell in a river we'd never find ya' again... Don't ya'??? :neener: :D

I don't believe that one man has wore so much brass and iron since Jesse James rode with William Clarke Quantrill.... :cool:

I have one of all the Remmies and the steel frame .36 police is a fun and strong pistol. They shoot good to. I'd go for it now that it's on sale. Oh I don't have any brass frames Remmies yet.

Jim, I tried taking a picture with my better camera today but it didn't turn out too good. The problem being is the nickle plating reflected the camera flash back at the camera.

Any ideas on how I can get a good picture of my pistola? Should I turn off the flash and use natural light instead? :confused:
 
No. 1 - use a tripod. Then either turn off the flash or use indirect flash by bouncing it off a white surface if your flash attachment will allow it. If not, you will need a bright light source - direct sunlight is best, otherwise a 250 (or so) watt bulb. It should be diffused light or floodlight, not a spotlight. If you can't get enough light on the subject or the camera won't open up enough without the flash, try taking the picture using the flash but offset to the left or right slightly so the flash is directed at an angle. Offsetting up or down usually doesn't work with a rounded surface like the cylinder, so moving left or right should work better.
 
We usually have plenty of bright sunlight in Arizona, and that's the problem because bright light will cast a harsh/hard shadow.

Instead, go outside where a building or some other large object is casting a shadow. Photographers call this "open shadow," and it will eliminate any shadows cast by the object. Set up the object (in this case a revolver) within the shadowed area. Put the camera on a tripod, turn off the flash, and after composing the picture take it using the camera's delayed shutter (timer).

The results may be a bit dark, but if the image is digital (as opposed to film) you can easily correct it using a computer and one of many free photo-enhancing programs. Don’t get too close to the object or the results will be fuzzy. You can crop the results later to remove unwanted background.

If you must use direct flash (especially indoors) get at least 4 feet between the camera and object (more is better) and then "blow up" (enlarge) the picture and crop out the background.
 
You have access to a camera that allows you to set aperture, shutter, or other priorities that will accept a tripod?

Or just point & shoot?

If point & shoot you need tons of soft light, no flash. I'll use the halogen light stand rack pointed at the white ceiling for giving very bright but diffuse light.

Same rules apply for an SLR w/ tripod but you don't need as much light on an inanimate object, if you can set the aperture and drag the shutter.
