Definitely better on Nikon Steve! My version was with Z6 and my favourite 10.5cm f2.5 P F-mount lens.
Mirror Lake - somehow that wasn't on the agenda. Will have to check it out next year.
Steve, good to see you marching on well despite the brush with Lord Nelson.
Mirror Lake depends on the time of year. It's truly just a wide and shallow area of Tenaya Creek. Right now it's just a stream with a large sand beach and tourists splashing about. Late springtime at full snow run-off is at its best.

I've been using the 85 PC=E Lens since 2009, I will NEVER go back!!!
I use flashes, Studio Strobes, actually, in this photo, there's SEVEN of them!! One in a Soft Box on top, for fill In, the rest are on Honey Combs putting highlights on the pistol.
I've been perfecting this style for the past 20 years, I'm still not there yet
I know what you mean … Sometimes I feel I’m never there. I use a soft box with a max of three strobes and have been happy with the lighting from above the pistol. May be preaching to the choir but in shooting collectible firearms is important to capture the correct which means accurate finish. Then there are the defects, dings and scratches and yes sometimes surface rust that must get equal billing.
Have a friend that uses black twine to suspend the pistol with a black background in a pro studio that makes for a great photo. I don’t have the time nor temperament to do that. Too StarTrekkie for me!

It takes time and practice, lots of failing too!! Keep this in mind, I've been at this for 36 years and I'm not there yet!! I'm still learning!!
This is in a place called Coober Pedy. It's the Opal capital of Australia, located in South Australia, also famous for the fact that there are a lot of sub-terranian dwellings, houses that are essentially caves carved out of the rock and staying nice and cool in the outback heat.
It is also the place that the Vin Diesel film Pitch Black was filmed, hence the leftover space ship !

An old storefront in Glenwood, GA.
Nikon D70, 35/2
I really must stop reading this board from a mobile phone. It does no justice to the pictures. This is a great capture, also that it was captured with a D70 just rocks.
