Raging Bull @ Night...

#1

Post by ront »

Some of you will remember me telling about my nephew being killed up in Alaska and his dad giving me one of Shaun's guns. We were camping this last week end and my daughters boyfriend and I took this picture. He shot the gun and I shot the camera. I used the bulb mode in manual and the remote. All I have done with this picture was crop and brighten it a bit. I did not add any color. I thought it was a pretty cool picture.
I would be interested in your thoughts.

Thanks, Ron

Sick picture. You got really good timing on that shot.

Great photo! A bit surprised the gun came out that clear. I'd have thought the recoil would move it at least a bit during the time the muzzle and cylinder gap "lit" the shot.

Great picture. I guess that was one lucky shot, in more way than one, despite the unfortunate loss of a family member.

Great photo Ron. You can actually read the "Raging Bull" on the barrel.

Interesting.

Did you use 44 Casull or .45 Colt for the shot?

Be sure not to get your thumb near the front of the cylinder,the blow out from the side with take your thumb off.Saw a pic of someone that got their thiumb in the way on another forum and it was a mess.They were shooting the .500 S&W.

snuffaluff, please use it for a desktop. If you send me a PM with your email address, I will send you a bigger one. Same for anyone else also!
I would love to sell this picture if possible. I just do not know how to go about it.

Thanks, Ron
