I'm trying to find a REALLY GOOD, high resolution picture of one of Mark's custom rifles, preferably in an RT/S stock. We're redesigning his business cards, and I can't find a good one on his computer that hasn't been cropped, or has rings but no scope, etc. Feel free to post here or PM me if you have one you think might look good and would be willing to let him use.

Thanks!

Get him to get on finishing Mini Kitty's new build and I'll shoot some great shots of it for you.

Kitty

Thanks for the offer, but I need to get the cards ordered VERY soon.

I'm pretty sure her rifle won't be finished that quick. Not with the workload he has right now.

Just explain how important it is to keep his spotter happy... He'll understand

Kitty

Good point.

Ummmmm wouldn't Mark have a custom rifle built by Mark to photograph? ;) Don't tell us he has someone else build his personal rifles!

I have a 1712 he did but it isn't a full blown re-barreled action, just the stock 1712 in a RT/S stock but it looks very nicely done. Not sure how you would get just one picture to capture the detailing of all the areas around the rifle though. I know I am no photographer but I could try to get a couple of pics of it for you.

I'm with Kitty, If Mark really wants some good pictures he needs to get on my little ferocious spotters rifle. Studio product shot hourly rates are around $500 per hour, they could possibly be waved if he will get busy. I might even be able to speed up and do it pretty quick. He has photographers all around him and doesn't even know it. His spotter is over qualified and I bore easily if the models aren't alive and half naked.

But seriously, business cards with pictures to me suck!!! Go with a professional looking raised letter cards. Everyone knows what his stuff looks like. If not direct them to his website. They need his info and that's it. Photo cards are for Non-High Power National Champions.

@ Dee - Of course he has some he built. But most have logos on them and/or are a design that doesn't work well for a card.

@ jjp - I agree she is an awesome spotter. And you know he will get her rifle done as soon as he can. He just has a ton of projects to juggle right now.

I tried several business card designs that were plain, but one with a logo or picture just seemed to look a lot better. I think we've found a good one, I just have to check if the resolution is high enough.
