    Looking at it today I think the crop might be a bit off, I'm not sure if cutting off his back was the best possible edit. I do like the two casings in the air and the slide mid-action, though.


    Great framing and crop for the picture, nicely done.

    I was trying to get a clean silhouette of the gun to make a sticker for my safe, I wasn't trying to get a good photo, but I think one did come out of my efforts.

    Took the photo in my bathtub, just a little editing to get the clean looking background.

    This one is indeed mine. I really need a better lighting setup, as this was pretty much two desk lamps with led bulbs set to the sides.

    I think it's a great photo, and I see what you are saying about the crop. For a photograph I was going to frame (let's say I was the subject in the photograph) I might want the full back and some background. But for an ad piece the cropped back doesn't look bad. Hey, that's JMO!

    Absolutely nothing wrong with playing around with various lighting setups. It is a great way to find what you do and don't like, as well as to get a better grasp of lighting overall. We are always playing with new things.
