So, you are saying in effect "please shoot somebody"?
OMG!!! Now there is one hell of a stretch. That is similar to someone doing a picture of a delicious looking chocolate cake and you telling us, Sure, eat the whole thing and put on a 100'pounds.

The rounds look like .357 magnum caliber.
A .357 Magnum cartridge is the same cartridge EXCEPT for being 1/10th of an inch longer. That is so 38 Special cartridges may be fired in a .357 handgun but the longer cartridge can not fit and be fired in a 38 Special firearm.

A great photograph. I had never thought of using a lighted mirror for photography either.

Your composition is interesting, but you need much, much more light. DOF (depth of field) is very annoying. F 3.5 should be F 11. I see your ISO is maxed out so flood lights are needed. David

Thanks for the input, David. The photo turned out EXACTLY as I intended. If I wanted more in focus I wouldn't have used a macro lens. I would have used a smaller f-stop. The ISO on the camera I used goes much higher than 3200 without noise issues. When you have a moment, research "bokeh" in photography. Let us all know what you find out.
