WOW! I have been away from the computer and backed up. I’ll try to answer all questions. I have tried cloth and do have parachute cloth but did not use it on this one. I’m using reflected light off dull white. Yes all the pictures were the same with only the color changes, the last one (13) was a longer exposure by myself. I have never taken a picture with the camera in auto ;-).
SDH, with your help I’ve got this far, glad you like it.
Daryl, Thanks I’ll pull a Holt’s catalog and have a look.
The thing I don’t want to do is distract from the gunmakers artistic work. It’s been difficult to capture firearms the way I see them. The warmth and glow of a hundred years of patina is hard enough to convey in words, pictures are just as hard to master.
