I saw the musket photos and more. Probably best to do a subalbum. I've dozens! P'bucket will go five or six layers deep in subalbums, so you can get pretty specific in organizing.


One last bit of constructive criticism: Use a darker background when shooting old rifles and such. You want them brighter than the backdrop. For no particular reason I usually use blue anymore.






The cloth is much darker looking under normal lighting than what shows here but seems to not underexpose the important bits.


OD works OK too:



Outdoors shot.


Wasn't real happy with the medium/light grey, carpet. Too much drawing the eye away from the subject. Mind you, I don't get very fancy! Just a couple of small pawn shop cameras, Sony and Canon. One free, the other about US$50.:






Good selection of muskets, though! Have you shot any of 'em? Found my Model 1842 quite interesting to aim, as it wants to shoot very right and a bit low.

Thnx for the critiques fellas. I will take your advice in future postings. This was just a first attempt.

Now the pics are there...yes, white background does you no favors. I take pics on my carpet in the shop. It seems a neutral background that works...

Nice M16. I have an extra trumpet ramrod (repro) if you haven't found one.
