How do I Shoot Glamor Gun Pics?

I need some help. I'd like to learn how to get glamor shots of guns similar to the photos used in gun magazines. I've got a few years under my belt as a photographer but I've yet to learn this one. So before I start guessing my way through it I'm hoping I could get your help.

As for equipment I've got:

• Canon 7D
  
• EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM (Kit lens)
  
• EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
  
• 2x Elinchrom 500's with remote
  
• 3x Translucent umbrella Floodlight Kits
  

I think you are supposed to post a link to photos you did not take yourself, so that no offence is caused to the person who took the image and there is no copyright infringement.

Sorry I cant help you on the actual question, I dropped in to see what the answers might be. Still at least this reply might bump your post up the list.

Also you'll get more help in the discussion subforum than in the picture posting area

With a tripod, cheap work lights can be a useful substitute for studio lighting.
Look at the knife & Browning threads here: FAQ - Studio Lighting

The book Light Science and Magic will be indispensable for this sort of project.

The guy to talk to is Stickman. His Flickr is under stickgunner I believe.

Thanks for the support, evidently I don't check this section very often.

you can use a tripod as suggested above. lighting wouldn't be much of an issue if you have a good editor
