Firearms photos

Nice! I think 3 & 4 would be cool to frame and hang at the PD. I wanted to get some people together to get our duty weapons engraved, but I couldn't drum up enough people to make it cost effective....

Interested in a patch trade?

I not a gun owner but when I look at a rifle, I want to see all of it not just the breach (is that what it;s called?). Also, the placing of the rifle and hand gun aimed opposite to each other pulls my eye in two different directions. It might be better to aim them the same way. I also think the shots are too tight. The weapons are too close to the edges of the photos. It seems you wanted to focus on the details. But the photos need more breathing room. Maybe you could do both types. A long view and a close view. Good luck.

Showing the entire gun would ether five you a really long pano type image or leave a whole lot of dead space in the image. Having the guns pointing toward opposite sides of the frame gives you two intersecting lines which actually pills the viewers attention into the image.

I haven't been "seriously" taking any pictures except for the last year and a half and I read a lot about triangles making for a more interesting photo with people. I thought the same approach would work with the equipment...

Leading lines work no matter what type of subject.
