wtnhunt Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 -I will take some better , less fuzzy pictures, soon- -can someone advise me on some tips on taking pics of rifles?-flash , lighting,etc?? Your last pic looks fine to me Kathleen, if you just rotated it. You can do that on photobucket with the edit tools. Far as taking pics with the rifle, if you are trying to setup a pic, I am sure DoubleA could give you some great advice. I would use the flash only if lighting were low. If you are getting blur and you have good lighting it could be something in your settings on your camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
