My dad is a pretty damn good pro photographer, and I asked him if he could take some nice hi resolution shots of my rifle. We set it up on a platform with a standard background and 2 flashes operated by electronic slaves. He used a Nikon D700 digital camera, ISO 200, F11 at 1/25 second. He did some cropping and scaled down the file size. I think his work is great, and I am gonna ask him to shoot pics of all of my rifles and pistols.
