I know pic is a little dark... I'll try and take better pics in natural light soon.

Manuel

Wow Manuel, two Classics in one photo!

Add a few more related items and enter the photo in the Picture Gallery.

Consider using a stick of molding clay to prop the K22 up on the left side of the cylinder to lose the shell in the trigger guard.

Your best bet on natural light is moving everything there outside on an overcast day. Less shadows. Put camera on tripod, use ISO 100 or 200, "Aperture Preferred" or "A" setting on camera at f/11 or f/16. If you can select focus point, put it on the trademark.

Camera will select shutter speed for you, thus the tripod. Use self-timer to avoid camera shake instead of you pressing the shutter button yourself.

You will be surprised by the results. Hope this helps.

Description: Wasn't sure I could put single focus point on the knives on iPad screen. Note signature detail almost in focus. If I had used multiple point focus, camera might have focused on watch and everything beyond it out of focus.

Manuel, looks like you've got fine depth of field, since the S & W trademark is almost sharp. Love those diamond grips.

Here's your photo lightened up in Photoshop 5.

Buck,
Thank you... I appreciate the feedback! I'll make those adjustments if possible (I have to see if my little Canon supports those settings first!) and repost.
Regards,
Manuel
