    Anyone that has spent any time around internet forums dedicated to firearms no doubt has seen a few of these. What I can't understand is why people chose some of the backgrounds they do.


    1) On their bed, on top of messed up, un-tucked, and sometimes pretty nasty sheets. I always hope I don't see something I don't want to on those sheets.

    2) On their carpet, which is stained and clearly hasn't been vacuumed in at least a decade.

    3) With their toes (some people do it on purpose now) that are usually pretty gnarly, need to have the tonails cut, and have a decent amount of sock lint between the toes.

    4) On the couch / recliner that has popcorn seeds, potato chips, and other crumbs all over it.


    Am I just some sort of sick neat freak, or does that gross you guys out too? :dunno:


    Yes but they also take pictures of the wife and hound dog the same way!!!! As a very wise old man once said Some folk are just plain dumb not much you can do for em

    Is there a want for "action" or shooting pictures? I was thinking of going to the bowling pin shoot at MCF&G this Saturday and taking pictures of the shooters. A couple of my buddies are supposed to go but they'll probably wuss out. If there's interest I ay go even if they don't.

    I hate the old bullet/shotgun shell through the trigger guard

    Ditto.

    Why do people even DO that? :dunno:

    I always take mine on my nice Brazilian cherry floor, as below:

    Someone on Glock Talk a few years ago posted pictures of their Glock on their nightstand and had some adult items in the background. After that, I don't think they ever returned to the forum under their regular name ever again. It was a pretty epic thread.

    One afternoon I lucked out and got the perfect lighting for some pics. I'm no photographer but I have to say I'm pretty proud of these pics. Like the OP noticed though, I'm looking at the perfect amount of reflection and detail on the rifle and not noticing the terrible alignment with the furniture I'm setting them on, or my knees in the pics or anything else. It is funny how you can get focused on certian aspects and not notice all the distracting other crap about the photo.

    I have a buddy that calls all the pictures of my guns i take "gun porn". I set them up with a decent background and all that (normally) I just think if im going to take the picture then why not take the time to make it look good all the way around.

    Not sure what website forum it was on, but I saw a pic of a handgun (within the last 2 weeks) laying on the sink in a bathroom with the toilet in the background. Makes you wonder why he was in the bathroom with the gun in the first place
    I set mine on the counter if I have to go when I'm wearing my IWB holster... :dunno:
