This past weekend my fiance and a friend of ours and my sister all went shooting; I took my old Winchester Lever Action 30-30 to shoot and of course needed to clean it once we were finished. This gave me inspiration to take a few tight shots during the process. I think that the beauty of shooting tight showcases the little details that a larger, more general approach might overlook. I love seeing the detail and narrowing the focus to something very specific in the shot, taking away a lot of the surrounding setting in order to direct attention to certain aspects of the overall story. I was really excited to focus on the details since I'm very proud of this rifle and love showing it off (my Dad did all of the woodwork on the stock). The lighting was from the porch light which is why there is more of an amber glow but honestly I think it works with the images and gives it an antiquated look that goes along well with the subject of the shots.
