1916 Navy Rig

Pete, Most of what I did I learned from this forum. I used a piece of red cloth as a background. I hung the top half on my wall using push pins and used the lower half as the base to set the subjects on . I utilized a desk lamp with a 40W soft light bulb to illuminate the subject, changing the angle for the best results as I viewed it through the camera finder. I use a Canon Powershot digital camera for all my photography. The overhead lights in my loft room are also on. I have to experiment further because I am not satisfied with the results. In the Navy rig photo the light reflection off the lower parts of the pistol is too great. Next time the photos will be better. As I learned in this forum, the lighting of the subjects is the key . Hope this helps you . Craig
