Marlin Model 1893 Deluxe Takedown Rifle 03_02_08.jpg

I know some of you are missing Wanda. We'll do something soon.

We bought this beautiful rifle from a customer last week. It was manufactured in 1899. This rifle is in almost perfect condition and a true collectors piece. We've already sold it and will be shipping it out in a day or two.

We're redecorating our office with photos of some of the nicer guns we get through. So today I spent some time photographing this rifle for the print to hang on the wall. I'm pleased with how it came out.

Nikon D70
1/160s f/18.0 at 52.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice to see a new picture after a two week hiatus, even if it isn't of Wanda. As always your photography is superb, no matter what the camera.

Gorgeous lighting really enhances the richness of the leather and wood.

Oh no...it is the camera they have at work. It takes okay photos but damn the buttons are all in the wrong spots. One of these days they need to break down and buy a Canon.

Nice rich warm colours. Well done. Nikon D70? Something new for you?
