These pics are all taken with a cell phone camera using good old fashion sunlight.

What kind of post-processing program do you use? Sharpness is tack-on. Contrast, color, all look great. I haven't seen a camera phone shot look like that. Lightroom? Photoshop? Something else?
 
Someone should create a magazine based on Playboy, but its all pictures of guns....unholstered :s0001:
What to call it....Gunboy?....Playgun? (no!)...GUN PLAY! YES!
This month's "centerfold" would be like a gorgeously ornate Merkel SxS, sidelock...28 gauge. Hubba hubba! :s0140:

...or you could just paruse Joe Salter's website...and for the scattergun crowd, my default drooool site is Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing
 
I have been working on getting better pics of my guns, just to share.
I have a spot in the hallway/laundry room that I work in. I've made up some decent lighting, led, direct and indirect. Mostly, I was trying to get rid of dark shadows.
I have a couple background cloths I use. Never photoghraph on white or black background.
Oh, and I'm using a Galaxy Note9.
Getting a handle on the shadows; working on the glare. These are a couple CZ 40's I fitted with 9mm barrels, from a P09 and a P07.
I generally take a pic from back a bit, then crop to fill the screen. I keep them in a folder that I can show what I'm talking about.

I'm a fan! Been a professional sports photographer for years, been getting in to shooting firearms recently, as my collection has been growing :D

Looks good. Is the blur on the 1911 all from the lens or is that also post production blur added? I assume a lot of PP blur due to there being blur in the same plane as the gun?
 
Does yelling, "Say Cheese Mo--Fo--!" or "Look at the birdie!" before pulling the trigger count?


Some impressive gun porn!

For me gun pics are all about the angles. Kinda like fast cars - you want to get some of the front as well as some of the side. That and a good backdrop is critical, something that contrasts with the gun to make its outlines pop.
