Wish my camera could take pics that good 
The stainless actually LOOKS good in that pic, mine it never looks right at all.. Piece of junk HP...
How'd you do your lighting?
Heres the best I can get...
Maybe its just my camera sucks.. 4mp HP photosmart.. :barf:
That glock pic.. only one to turn out. Rest, even WITH flash off it looks shiney in the pics.. a shiney glock?!?
I havn't played around with posing yet.. need to get hte lighting deally worked out first..

Hey Jon
I get the same results when shooting my guns laying flat. I'm working on it though...
The front light is from a large overhead, and the back light is from a window. The gun looks new, but I have over 100 rounds through it...
Another thing you could work on is the image software that you're using. Make sure it's highend Adobe, or macromedia. With good software you can edit out the glare areas, soften them up...
Good luck...

I am not sure what kind of lighting you guys are shooting for (pun intended
)... but if you're not going for special effects, for standard photos, use plenty of diffuse light.... which basically means you want failry soft light coming from all directions to avoid strong shadows and glaring reflections - scattered light is what you want. Some ways you can get diffuse light are:
- Shoot during daytime with curtains all open, and *add* room lights
- Use multiple light sources
- Don't position light too close
- No bare bulbs that within a line of sight to subject
- Bounce light off a white ceiling or wall first to scatter it
- Filter and scatter light through a diffuser - soft sheet of transluscent white something - plastic, material...
- If you shoot outdoors, will get best results on a day with some cloud cover, or shooting with everything (camera and subject) in shade - again, you're using diffusion
Hope this helps - keep the photos coming!
