LeggNets Digital Capture

Cowboy Poet


I was shooting some captures today for my stock photo portfolio and I invited a friend over to watch. He's a recent convert from film to digital SLR's (albeit Nikon!) and wanted to try my studio lights with his D80. We were planning on shooting some photos involving smoke and guns so he brought along his 45 Colt single action revolver.

While we were shooting he told me about a western style photo he saw on a website and suggested that we attempt to make a similar capture sometime in the future. That's all the motivation I needed. We rounded up the props and put together the shot. While the color version works well, I also like this version in black & white sepia with a bit of film grain added.

That is a very cool shot! I like both versions equally and could see commercial uses for either. Well done.

I like both of them too. I can't even say which one I like best!

By the way, the new blog colors look really good.

Thanks Genevieve. The change was made in an effort to transition the blog away from the 'standard template' look. I appreciate your input.
