More like about 4-5" DOF at 2 feet. Pull back to 3 feet and you will have just under a foot of DOF.

Online Depth of Field Calculator

Haha... Wise choice. :lol:

Thanks.

I like the picture, but I dont understand why someone would need such a gun unless....

Thanks.

Please don't start the "why would anyone need a gun" thing though - it will only lead to the thread getting locked.

EDIT
If you want to discuss that further, PM me.

It's not a gun ......... it's a photograph, and a neat one at that...

thanks for posting it .... :thumbup: I may have to borrow my Bro-in-laws Desert Eagle and play with it...

There's nothing about that photo I don't like.

Very nice lighting, good comp too. I'll get there one day....

No problem. No, I don't 'need' it, and it's overkill for anything I'll ever do with it - but it's still fun. Just like exotic cars - you don't 'need' 500 horsepower, but it would still be a lot of fun.

Thanks. I've always wanted to play around with one of those...

It's really not that hard. The composition is probably the hardest part, and that isn't really that hard. Build yourself a light tent/box. There are some that you can buy, but you could make your own for less than $10. If you have a tripod and a grey card (for WB), the lights don't really matter. I use those halogen work lights you would use in the garage, but anything would work.

Here's some simple instructions on how to make a box.
