The Handgun - an impact shot that has appeared in two
photo magazines as an indication of technique.
The set up was very simple. A black background was used - I have
a fairly large piece of black velvet which absorbs almost all
light giving a full black.
The gun - a replica - was positioned and focused on with the
cam era on a tripod - to retain the correct point of focus. The
smoke is cigar smoke blown down the gun barrel just before
exposure and the light source a single flash connected to the
camera on an extension lead.
Several flash angles were tried to get the desired effect.
Exposure was calculated manual using a set aperture for depth of
field and dividing that into the flash guide number. The
resulting figure is the FLASH to SUBJECT distance - note, NOT
necessarily the camera to subject distance. It is flash to
subject that matters.
