No pain here, Michael. Your pics just give me pleasure. Keep it up.

I'm with Lowell on the composition stuff. I've always liked the stuff in DGJ because of it.

I've not always liked the "flat" lighting, most of the DGJ pics seem to have, for showing detail. But it sure makes the guns look good, maybe much better than in person. For Oooo and Ahhh stuff, flat lighting works well with most things. But for detail definition or color presentation, other lighting often is better.

One of the easiest ways to get soft "flat" lighting is with a bounce of a flash off of white walls or ceilings.
