Nice work lining up all of the headstamps on the 12 gauge shells. :)

I don't know if the FZ-10 has a white balance selection tool, but with whatever light source you used (one of those high power shop lights?) they'll come out with truer color if you set the WB to the "Tungsten" setting.

I used the color adjustments in PS, and had to run the sliders to max, but here's the result:

wow, thats cool how you did that. The picture was taken on top of my safe. The light used was just a standard bedroom light. The safe sits right underneath the light and naturally it made a good stage to take pictures.

The only thing I did to change the pictures was I adjusted Contrast in Paint Shop Pro. That's all I really know how to do with photos.

Shoot RAW and you can set your white balancing in post-processing.

Even with the WB set to auto, I'm surprised the photos were yellowish in hue. AWB on cameras are typically able to compensate appropriately.

Aside from the weird white balance, the pictures are good. Did you crop these? I was looking at the EXIF and it shows a pretty wide aperture for the depth of field you achieved in a few shots.

Not cropped, just resized. The yellow light is from my, yellow lamp. For some reason it's an older bulb or something but it is very yellowish. As far as the camera goes, I put it on "P" which is a universal setting. Didn't mess with anything on the camera. The close up of the Tac light is in Macro mode though.

More pics taken on same night...

None of my cameras(Canon A310, SD1000, Digital Rebel, and 30D) when in AWB, will adjust for my 500w shop light (as a makeshift hotlight). I have to manually set it to the Tungsten lighting setting.

nice way to one-up him donut jk jk :p

Photoshop is fun. I too do graphics. My undergraduate was in graphic communications. Here are examples of screwing around. Most of these only take about 10 minutes to do up.

A little sacrilege but this is me

White balance needs to be fixed. Do some white balance by temp, or even pre-sets. They will come out a LOT better. Also, watch the exposure, some of those shots are a bit over-exposed, if you can get a tripod, and use slower shutter speeds and smaller aperture, with corrected white balance, those will come out a LOT better. Either way, aside from the aforementioned parts, they look quite nice.

looks great!
