Ok, my “studio” sucks (considering it is little more than my bookshelves covered with a white sheet, it is no wonder), my lighting is atrocious (various fluorescent and incandescent lights, casting shades I would hesitate to call “white”), and I am not Oleg Volk (much to my detriment).

Excuse the shoddy quality of the following images… I did not want to use a flash at the range (for more-or-less obvious reasons) so my camera compensated by boosting its ISO through the roof (1600 for both images, I believe)….
