Can I get some tips on taking pictures of my rigs. My flash usually washes out detail and they look like shit as a general rule of thumb. I wanted to take some Photo’s of my new Leather Holsters and give you guys a look. Its a “Black Ops” that can be worn IWB and OWB. Pretty cool, thought others might like to see. I have a good camera and do fine on general Photos, but the up close gun shots are weak.
Consider turning off the flash, using the macro setting, and/or using a support for he camera (such as resting it on a fixed object or using a tripod).
Lots of good information here.

If you don’t have a remote trigger for snaping the picture use the countdown timer when tripod mounted for a nice steady picture.

Use good lighting!! Full spectrum light is best.
Think in the line of doing something like this.

Shoot lots of pictures after a while you will find what works best.
