Looks like a .357 Magnum Pre-27, 5" Great revolver but maybe not so great photo. Needs more depth of field... Try f-22, a tripod and slow shutter. You would be better off shooting straight on. Clarity before artsy...

No fancy stuff but these pictures with the same cheap camera are better

They are better, but you are still stretching the field of view and the ends are not in focus...

Steve or Michael: Have either of you had any experience with one of those translucent "tents" that completely surround the subject to diffuse the light evenly? I have a pair of soft-box lights, but they still leave a strip of glare no matter how I position them; thinking the "tent" idea might have some merit, but wanted some solid opinions from pros before spending the moolah. Thank you.

Craig, I used a homemade one years ago but found my set-up better for what I want. They can work just fine there is just a lot of stuff (tent) in the way. I used gauge like curtain material..

Craig,
I made a tent using a parachute and tried that but no better than what I'm using now.
I have everything set up and it just takes a few minuets before I can start shooting pictures. My camera stays on the tripod and is covered when not in use. I just need to select and install the right caliber rod.

I have a "cube" I use for small objects, works well for that purpose. I can a handgun in mine. http://www.ezcube.com/
