Beautiful shot..........this should be framed and hung on your wall!!......the lighting is perfect, and I love the tones in this. V

Love the lighting. I have two speedlights as well, but haven't mastered the use of slave versus master yet.

Classic shot of a classic gun.

I'm with Debbie B .... my first thought was the warmth of the wood in particular... it seems to glow..... great shot Mr Bill......

That's a hella good shot as is, but I gotta agree with verymarriedv .

kej, I used two Canon 550 speedlights, shot through umbrellas, to light this photograph.

What's the lighting source?

I like the nice warm color in this image.

Great image, as for Steve's qestion it's a single action the trigger moves forward when the hammer is cocked back

Bill, I know nothing about guns but I was wondering is that the normal trigger position? It appears to be drawn back (pulled) with very little travel left before firing. Or is this a safety position?

I agree with Gary. However, the way MY mind works, I suddenly had a mental flash of Wanda, wearing that holster, a Stetson, boots, and not much else, blowing away the smoke from the muzzle of the Colt Bisley. See what you've both done to me!!!!?????

Man-o-man Bill! Such a classic looking image. You should be selling these at trade shows.
