Exposure Info

When photographing weapons, I consistently use studio strobes which are daylight balanced and have UV color corrected flash tubes. Here are some specifics regarding ISO, shutter speed and working aperature preferences:

ISO: 100 (minimizes overall noise especially noticeable in blacks)
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Aperture: F16, 22 and 32 (permits greater depth of field)

(Note: Remember to apply the 1/3 - 2/3 rule when focusing in order to maximize depth of field.)
