Canik-55/Tristar P-120 (CZ SP-01 Clone)

            I'm getting impatient waiting for my new firearm to get here so I can photograph it, so I'm revisiting some old pictures that I had trouble with to see if I can update them to my liking.  This one had a LOT of technical flaws that I didn't know how to work around either in camera, with my lighting, or in post-processing at the time, so it's still not perfect, but I am liking this edit much more than the original that I came up with.  I believe I was working with very dim natural window light (before I had my strobe), so there was quite a bit of noise and a little camera shake; I worked around this with some NR and by pushing a little grain to get some structure back in the details, and making it look a bit film-y.  It's a shame I don't have this gun anymore to give it a proper shoot now that I've learned so much since this was taken!
