AdrianRogers Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Photo tip 1: Never use direct un-softened/dispersed flash unless you are going for a specific look only that can provide (Which most don't know how to use properly anyway, so best leave it well alone). You can use something as simple as paper to cover the flash, it will help soften and disperse the light more, giving a more natural light effect. Not so pronounced. 2: Everyone seems to think if you lay a gun down and take a picture looking up or down it it will look good. Unless you know what the word aperture means and how it effects your depth of field i would stay well away from this type of shot also. 3: Find out how your camera focuses. Auto, manual, which points does it use for auto focus reference. Case in point, in picture 3, you have some grass and some camo in focus, but the subject of the photo (the gun) is not. By the looks of the way you arranged the photo you did not want it to turn out like this (As the camo/grass is boring/complicated/makes terrible subject matter), so make sure you know exactly what your camera is focusing on. Typically you can focus on one object, and while still half-pressing the shutter button, recompose your shot, and fully compress. Providing the distance between you and the subject you previously focused on does not change, and you simply recomposed the shots angle or view. I think that covers it for quarter past 2 in the morning Oh, point 4: Learn to take critique. It won't all be good, but you'll improve a helluva lot more if you take it all in.

pillow_pwnage Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) You must take into account that 99% of the cameras used are either a) camera phones very *suitcasey* digitals c) very *suitcasey* digitals The other 1% can be blamed on those who are photo illiterate. Visit www.dpreview.com for some helpful info, and try browsing some online photo sites such as www.fotki.com for inspiration.

AdrianRogers Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Already did. I've taken some (if i do say so myself) cracking shots with camera phones, cheap '*suitcasey*' digitals, things with practically no user control at all. It only requires some simple nudges to turn a mediocre photo into a good one. As im sure you would know, i've seen the shots of your SR25, that's definately one GOOD use of the lay down gun shot!

tgrillo Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 ok, shave off the acog. Aimpoint Replica or EOTech? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Aimpoint, they look so much better on M4s. Then again I do dislike EOTech. Aimpoint is pure simplicity, less things to worry about and less likely something will break. Link to post Share on other sites
tgrillo Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Are you retarded sarge? Yes, lets put more faith in a replica aimpoint in not breaking than a real steel eotech wow.... Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Trgrillo: EOTech They retain so much retail value, it's insane. Link to post Share on other sites

bigbaby Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wait, on a real eo-tech 551 and 552, when you press the NV button, what happens? Link to post Share on other sites
Batou-san Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 It turns into Nuclear Vapor (thus NV). I'm assuming it illuminates the reticle on a low brightness level for use with nvgs? Link to post Share on other sites

dechande Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) My CA, although i'm selling the ACOG (i use the iron sights, the ACOG is on for the sake of a pic). Fairly straightforward SPC with a G&P laser, vertical foregrip and king arms pistol grip (found the standard one too small ). Edited September 12, 2006 by dechande Link to post Share on other sites
