It's kind of boring. Sitting on some cheap melamine shelving. Clean
it up with q-tips and Windex first, it looks dirty. Then shoot it so
that it looks like a product shot. Either blow out a white
background, or find one that looks interesting.
WTF??? Are you crazy???? Cleaning an antique, whether it be an old firearm, or
camera, or anything of age is a cardinal sin and devalues the item 10
fold!!!!!!

You mean as uncreative as possible?

Your lens it at its widest, and this has caused
quite severe spherical abberation, which is
not a good look.

Either learn to post-correct this,
or shoot with longer focal lengths, which
tend to have this abberation to a far lower extent.

Yes, all product shots are uncreative and amateur shots are high art.

Would you mind contradiction assertions I've made,
not straw men you've fabricated?

Rubbish. Cleaning dirt off isn't the same as removing old paint
finishes, or oxidization. Go to a museum, look at gold dug up or
retrieved from the ocean after a 1000 years. You think it came out of
that sparkling clean?

Yep. As a professed metallurgist you should know that gold doesn't
tarnish or corrode in salt water.

You first. You made the claim.

What - that products shots have a strong tendancy to be uncreative?

Pick up a supermarket flyer sometime.

Or most any shopping site:

See any creativivity here?
