I recently began learning the ways of the camera. It started as a way to get better product photography and is slowly morphing into another hobby. Here's some of my latest. Enjoy...or don't.

Sure is. Done locally by Tier One Defense.

Nice.  What kind of camera & lens are you running?

Nikon d3200 with 18-55mm Nikkor (kit lens that comes with the camer)

Nice shots.  If I might suggest, you would get some better images if you use multiple flashes so that you don't get the shadows you are seeing.  Don't know if your D3200 offers the wireless commander mode that my higher end Nikon's have, but if not there are other ways to trigger remote flashes.  Let me know if you need any help.

Howard, I appreciate the advice and offer to help. In this particular series of photos I intentionally wanted the shadows and used a small desk lamp until I got the desired shadow.

If that was your intent, then it worked out well.  Everyone has a different eye for things and what one likes another might not like - that is the beauty of different photographic techniques.

I was aiming to capture the Instagram crowd that seems to favor the dark, industrial look.

 

I dabbled a bit while hanging out at Duke Farms in the fall and got these and a bunch like them:

 

 

I'm still very new to photography but I think I'm learning pretty quickly. I've seen a sharp increase in quality over the last couple months and can't wait to get better lenses and tools to use.

 

A-Tech, my wife has a photography business. I like your shots so far...looks good!

Oh and no, she didn't shoot my profile pic

No, that's my basement...or maybe I'm lost.

I love the baby eagle. The P320 hasn't seen much range time yet but I do like the way it carries. Grip fits my hands perfectly and the trigger is great.

I bought my wife a Canon T5i for her birthday last year. I'd like to see if I can take pictures of my firearms like that. Would I be okay with the lens it came with (18-55mm)?

I'm using a 18-55mm lens in these shots. It's limiting, but not so much for basic photography. Use a tripod + timer to get the best possible image.

Did you use an external flash?

No, I used regular old desk lamps with CFL bulbs. For what I've been doing, I like to be able to position the light where I want it and have the ability to change the color of the light with a bulb swap.
