Posting Pictures

[Rustship]

I read Marcus's post where you all showed him how to post a pic out of Photo Bucket, so I am going to experiment.

Man, that is Great. I sure appreciate you guys, I saw the instructions of how to do this in Marcus's thread, and this is just fine. Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

WOW, Roger! YOU DID IT! (And some good pics too!)

Several people have asked about my photo set-up, camera, etc, so I took a little time and just tried to put this together so it shows how simple it can be to present good photos with even an inexpensive digital camera. (I'm using a ten year old Sony S-85 I got from ebay for $17)

I have my photo taking place set up where I can almost always get a good, focused and balanced pic every time in my garage any time, and I can set it up in a couple of minutes. Often, outside indirect lighting works well, but it's far from convenient.

1) Always use a tripod

2) A light source that you can move around that has a rheostat (Old Desk Lamp)

3) Use the two second delay function so you aren't touching anything when the camera focus' and takes the image - Even if you are using a tripod, you can still cause a slight blur when up very close if you touch anything when the "Shutter" opens.

This is really a cheap set-up, but I have taken some of the best photo essays using this simple method.

Being able to move the light around makes it easy to see how the image will look. The rheostat is great for adjusting the best amount of light to get a good color, but not so much it reflects to give washed out areas. You can find a lamp with a rheostat and articulating arm and it makes it so easy it's like cheating - Just adjust it so it looks good in the viewfinder, and there are few surprises.




I just use the 'Auto' setting on the camera - The only adjustment I use is 'Macro' (Flower symbol) when up very close, and never use the flash



I took these photos of my 1903A3 only using this method (with about a $40 for total rig)
You can buy a simple tripod for $20 and a desk lamp (or two) for about that much or less.

I hope this helps

Roger,

How about a picture of the whole pistol?

One more time.

OK Harlan, what did you take the picture of your camera with?
