See below: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2875/9904834695_69613be391_c.jpg The key is managing your light source not messing with your exposure. With reflective metal you're basically taking a picture of your light source. For a black rifle with stainless/reflective parts, you're probably going to have the best luck with a large soft light close to the firearm. If you know what you're doing, you don't need to use HDR, and other such foolishness. Stainless guns have been around for a long time, and people have been photographing them long before digital.

Turning your ISO down (more towards ISO100) will always help with noise, but you will likely reach a point where you need to shoot with a tripod for best results. Deliberately underexposing an image and then making up for it in Photoshop (or any odd-version of Photoshop) will typically introduce more noise (a.k.a. grain) into your photo than if you had exposed it properly in the original image file. As bad as purists will think this sounds, this is where HDR photography can have its advantages. The key is often to blend several images with good software, rather than 3 drastically different images, and to have shot the original images with the camera in the exact same location with the exact same lens and ISO settings (f/8 and up, for example). It's also important not to get even a little carried away with the settings while processing the images. Depending on what software you're using, there may also be a slider or control called "recovery". This is intended to get the detail back into your photo that was lost by being overexposed. Picture shooting a photo of a white bird on a sunny day...the feather detail is normally lost. This can help bring it back into the image. The same slider can help bring the detail back into something like the stainless parts in your image. See the image below for an example - this is a screen capture from Photoshop Lightroom.

Which I'm guessing is often nothing more than an overcast sky...which is normally great, but not when its being reflected on stainless. Shiny things are often better taken inside. rings, watches, cars, products etc. actual lights are reflected off and it looks much better that way. perhaps off set your angle. play with a white poster for soft light accents. And get in close to the stainless. |
