Armalite Pictures

Wow, thumbs up. At first I thought it's professional photos

taken in a studio and with real steal stuff.

 

How did you get the perfect lighting and high resolution?

You mind to tell us your photo equipment?

 

Well done.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks. Though I don't feel the lighting is perfect myself, if anything there are a few hot spots I should have corrected.

 

For a camera, I usually use my Nikon CoolPix 5700, which is 5MP. Sometimes I use a Nikon D70 (6.1MP) or a Canon Digital Rebel XT (8MP), both digital SLRs (and both borrowed from work). I really like the Canon, it seems to just effortlessly take awesome pictures. I'm considering selling my Nikon and buying one.

 

For lighting, right now I use a couple of clamp lamps I picked up at the hardware store. They're pretty cheap and very handy to have around in gernal. I use GE Reveal 100w bulbs in them. You could use higher or lower wattage as needed. I like the reveal bulbs, their quality of light is really great for a regular light bulb.

 

What I need is a good way to diffuse the light sometimes, to try and eliminate the hot spots you'll get with direct light. I have a few ideas for this, but I haven't tried them yet.

 

One thing you can do to get more indirect light is to bounce it off a sheet of foam core, which you can buy at any craft shop or office supply store. It's cheap and you can cut it down to any size you need. It's also great for taking pictures on, if you just need a simple white background. You can set two of them up, one as the floor and one as the back to give you a pretty seamless white space.

 

I avoid using a flash whenever possible, it tends to adversely affect the color, and rarely gets the look I want. I prefer to use a tripod and a longer exposure with fixed lighting.

Phoenix, some people do a little 'reenacting' type thing. So while having a PEQ Battery and a flash light would be kind of pointless, it's what a real soldier would attach and use to his weapon and thus is replicated on the airsoft version.

 

Even if they are doing it 'just for looks' well, let them enjoy their game and not let them ###### you off.

Phoe, you make it sound like it's a "syndrome" only limited to AR-15 users.

 

MP5, P90, G36c... those 3 all guilty as well.

 

So don't start, or I'll spank you with my LE stock!

LOL. I didnt say that those wernt raped as well. its ok on some MP5's. Tired of seeing hte aimpoints on G36's though.

 

Any P90 rapage is a travesty though, and the owner should be broguht to court for crimes against the airsoft community.

[TMC]

The only thing that should be put on a P90 is a surefire on the side rail and an eotech on the top rail if it isn't the RDS version.

 

That's all.

 

HAY GUYS, LET'S USE BOX MAGS!!11!

My humble M4 contribution, ICS made with a brand new gearbox, right folding stock, flip-up front sight, Dragunov flashider and a 9.6v battery.

And a Gen. I nightvision scope. Sweeeeet.

<awesome pixx0rz>

I did none of the mods myself, but I must say the flashider is just perfect, the barrel ends *precisely* where the cutouts in the FH start - spot on

I could not possibly care less that it's not authentic btw

i wish i had an ACOG and one of solo's rifles!!

[Airsoft-Hippie]

 

This is my Classic Army M15 A4 Tactical Carbine (quite the long name)

[nsitgahltker]

 

What else can I use, instead of tape and a piece of wire?

[Gene]

A mount? :?

[nsitgahltker]

lol

Well... I plan on getting one with my next purchase, but I have no idea when that's going to be--it'll be a while though. Plus, making my own stuff out of the nothingness at my house feels nice.

 

...anyway. Hell, I'll just keep the tape and wait to buy...whatever.

Best of the best! More photos?

[ZAXAQUAR]

AKs have been proven to be inferior to the M4 (real steel)

 

HK vs Colt. HMMMM Colt needs to do some more home work they've been sitting on their B u t TS! HK is still figureing new things out. COME ON COLT! (I still like Colt better though cause HK shouldnt have stolen the designs) (colt should still do some studies and all and make the M4 and M16 perfect! Instead of making law suits against other companies.) COLT ARE YOU LISTENING!!!! lol (I'm SERIOUS!!)

Thanks for going into my question that detailed.

I think I will try some of them ideas and I have the same tendency

I hardly bleive that HK has stolen anyting from Colt. The AR15 is an open design nowadays, every company can make one (look at all the AR15 manufaturers arround).
