Uh most pics are blurred. Where are your focus points?
Like throw it in high res. and you will know what I'm talking about. What camera and lens and settings are you using?

Third and fourth picture, you do not have enough background sheet, that's a no no.

As i said, pics were taken at night...terrible lighting as I don't have flash or fill lights. Had to take them at 800 ISO at about 1/10 at f2.2..or something like that

I had no idea pics were out of focus until uploading them onto pc. Focus detection was terrible at low-light conditions...

what should be point of focus on guns? I did safety selector mainly...

Camera is Canon 400d with 50mm f1.2 lens

These photos are just experiments...My first time go easy on me!

BTW is it easy to tell I have a protective cover for my RDS? I'm quite proud of how it turned out :P

[Redzephyr]

I quite like the top one, nice work.

As to the cover, I doubt I'd have noticed if you hadn't said anything.

now that you mention it and after staring at the photos you can faintly see it.


your pictures are good, i like the darkness of it

Nice! I spent an hour custom making the cover out of 2mm thick acrylic. Stops bb's without cracking and is super easy to cut.

Glad at least some people like them!
