Re: Firearms photography

The reflectors I had made at a sheet metal shop, they are 48" tall by 36" rolled into a half circle. I then painted the inside flat white and attached three legs.

The lights (two in each reflector) are ECA 250-watt 3200k photoflood lamps easily found. Both sides are on a rheostat so I can start them slow and adjust the amount of light. The top lights have a light defuser on them. No other light source is used and the room lights are turned off.

The white background behind the rifle is a window shade that I can pull down and I have a white sheet on the ceiling to help defused the light.

The camera is always on a tripod and each picture is taken with the timer, I never touch the camera, or move around when the picture is taken.

Background color is done with Photoshop.
