The combination of the two can be fun!

You're just jealous of my mad skillz.

Sadly, this is true.

I’ve been dabbling in photography. Haven’t tried too many gun related things yet.

Nice! Cool looking pics and ammo man!

Silver bear? 7.62x54r?

Thank you for the new background pic for my phone.

Nice photos.

5.45x39

Cool shot, I'm a year or so into the photography hobby, a Nikon D40X DSLR with several different lenses is what I'm shooting with right now.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Thanks everyone!

Yes, Shooter521 is right. Silver Bear 5.45x39 is the cartridge.

They're all shot on a Canon T1i with either a Canon EF Ultrasonic 28-85 f/3.5-5.6 or a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, aperature priority mode, Bogen-Manfrotto tripod, and a 3-axis pan/tilt head.

In my spare garage under mostly fluorescent lights with a little natural light diffused by a Venetian blind; black card table top as background

Your first photo is your best -- nice, I like it. You must have shot that at nearly wide open aperture, though, as the depth-of-field is so shallow.

Pretty much!

I thought it was going to be a Printcraft thread. "I like pornography and I like gun stuff."

Nice shots Indy Guy! I have a T1i.... now I'm inspired to do some of that. Cool idea.

 

[Harry2110]

I am so going to do this.

Using a tilt-shift lens on some of these for selective focus might be interesting, to bring out the dynamic lines in what might otherwise be a rather static scattering of ammo. I also feel like I want to do some post-processing to heighten the contrast between silver and everything else.

Definitely can't combine a love of photography with a love of Glocks. In Long Beach, California, the police would stop you for taking pictures without aesthetic value.
