Oh, my word! What a beauty, and a two barrel set, to boot. It was done very, very well.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Fox. And congratulations, Mr. Cambria.

Merry CHRISTmas, Stan

The quality of the photos is outstanding.

I'm assuming natural light and a good quality lense.

ROM,

I prefer to use natural light whenever I can and as Smith Shady will attest, with a flash, "I really SU** at it!!"
I "bounce" more than a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader!

FWIW........1% inspiration.....1% perspiration.......1% composition........97% Nikon lenses.

Photography is indeed an art and I'm still very much in the "paint by numbers" phase!
On the whole....I'd rather be in Philadelphia....

Tool" Great gun and in my top 5 or so of all time best Foxes. You are fortunate to have it in your care.
One thing you may want to try with your photo's is move up the f stop so you have more depth of field to show off more of the guns beautiful details. Gun photography is very difficult.

Whoooo hoooo, somebody grab the defibrillator! What a SCREAMER! As for the photos Tool, you're doing "a ok" in my book. The hardest part is finding good subject matter, and you seem to be excelling in that category lately.
