Thanks, everyone. The bright reddish copper jackets of the bullets against the silvery tones of these unusual zinc-plated steel cases was something I hadn't seen before.

I used one remotely triggered flash along with an on-lens macro flash. The use of a remote flash is sort of a new thing for me. I used two colors of reflector material. One red (illuminated by the remote flash), and one blue behind and below the cartridges to play with the coloring and reflections. Jim H.

As much as I dislike the subject, I like the photograph. I'll just imagine it's lipstick : )
