Remember, when taking photos of blued guns, set your camera to overexpose by at least one f/stop. Many digital cameras have this feature and it will keep your blued guns from looking like silhouettes. With stainless guns, you'll also want to overexpose by about 3/4-f/stop. In fact, many photographers using digital and print film routinely overexpose all shots by about one f/stop so they can get shadow detail. Boosting contrast afterwards also can help bring out details in stainless guns.

Because glare can deceive the camera's metering system,
resulting in an underexposed shot, boosting exposure
compensation and contrast can add detail to darker spots.
Blued guns require a bit more exposure and perhaps some
added color saturation. For stainless, I actually decrease
saturation because of all the off colors the gun is reflecting.
My dad bought me some kind of lever action .308 (winchester?) for my birthday about six years ago, and I told him I thought it was lame and would have rather had a .44 mag for that price instead (because just like every other kid, I was obsessed with .44s after watching Dirty Harry), and he sold it at a gunshow and got me the 29. It is without a doubt the nicest gun I've ever shot, but I'd rather have one with a 4" barrel.
new to the forum,my head is spinning from 22 pages of beautiful wheel guns,i was looking for a picture of a 3 inch COMBAT PYTHON,does anyone else out there own one?
