Great pictures and excellent tips. While I haven't gotten off of my butt yet to post pictures, I have studied other pictures to see what looked best. I would like to add that a medium grey back ground on WW2 Lugers looks great, but a pink such as Tharpo shows in his pictures brings out the browns on holsters and the strawing and wood grips on WW1 Lugers better while not disturbing the bluing. Indirect lighting from different directions or outdoors is a must to reduce shadows.
