The definition of a photograph, photo, exposure or picture is a representation of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide; recorded by a camera on a light-sensitive material. In TFB’s case, this usually means a soldier or a firearm of some sort. This Photo Of The Day goes in black & white and features an Ohio State Highway Patrol officer as he fires his rifle. You can see the ejected brass and smoke from the barrel, and I think the photo works perfectly in this setting.

TFB has been running the  Photo Of The Day for years, sharing great photos from around the world and the world of firearms. Sometimes the selected pictures involve a lot of action and shooting, sometimes there’s another reason behind the choice. Like today where the theme is the Arctic. Are you enjoying the wintertime? German Gun Stock is a small company specializing in the tuning of precision weapons with the main focus on the Tikka T3. They’re located in Mueglitztal, around Dresden, Germany.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day tries to push the excellent work done by so many photographers around the World and in the firearms industry. It’s a celebration to those who go in harm’s way trying to catch those special moments for us, but also those who stay in the studio working out the perfect lighting and setting hour after hour. Armed with skills, cameras and sometimes a fair bit of editing here is where their hard work ends up. The production of today’s pictures is from Slovenia and involves a lot of fresh air and very little inside studio work.

Photo Of The Day and we’re going to have a look at various pictures from a new company called Silent Steel Suppressors. They’re from Finland and they manufacture suppressors. In Finland and Norway sound suppressors for firearms are license-free, and by the looks of it, Sweden might get similar legislation by this summer.

The world is full of stories and photographs, and in TFB’s Photo Of The Day you can check these stories every day, every minute, all year round. Get to know a subject better or get inspiration. Today we’re looking at a suppressed H&K G28 from an almost dangerous angle.

Here photography and firearms are a true passion so every day we run an article called Photo Of The Day. Today we have a Montenegro Navy soldier looking through the riflescope of the legendary Heckler & Koch MSG90A1. The picture comes from the European Union Naval Force Somalia – Newsfeed. The EU Naval Force Somalia – Operation is the European Union Counter Piracy operation off the coast of Somalia.

Flying rockets, fire and Kalashnikovs – we must be in Russia! TFB has been running the Photo Of The Day for years, sharing great photos from around the world and the world of firearms onto the doorstep of the screen you’re looking at right now, and we hope you enjoy it.

POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is TFB’s daily article series where we try to find pictures that will entertain and educate you. Did you know that credit for the first-ever color photograph taken goes to the mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell? At a lecture in 1861, he unveiled what is to be considered the first durable color photograph. It certainly sounds like an interesting lecture.

Over the years TFB’s POTD has gathered thousands of interesting images from around the world. If you’re interested in a special subject, you can use our search function. For instance, if you’re looking for photos of snipers just check here. Certain military units can also be searched and found, as well as countries: the Green Berets can be found here and the U.S. Marines here. If you’re obsessed with the Kriss Vector there are loads of images here. Today we have a photo from one of the Top Posts from the 10th Special Forces Group – Airborne. Can you guess what kind of firearms they’re going over the beach with?

One of the purposes of TFB’s  Photo Of The Day is to broaden the audience for the excellent work done by professional photographers of firearms. A perfect picture may take everything between a split second to months of planning, and it would be sad to see that kind of work go unnoticed and disappear. Like this M1C Sniper Garand picture, for instance. Just imagine the history behind it!

Photo Of The Day, or should we say of the year? As another year has passed, the Ministry Of Defense in the United Kingdom has chosen the “Best of Defence Imagery 2021“, and this image was one of the selected. It’s easy to see why, and you can see the original caption below for more background:

The perfect magazine doesn’t exist, does it? Or do we have the best solution just in front of us, as presented by FightLite Industries and their MCR Dual-Feed Upper? At $6,399.99 it’s one of the most expensive uppers I’ve ever encountered, but that didn’t stop a friend from buying one. It’s pretty cool to have a belt instead of a magazine, I can tell you!

Photo Of The Day: A tomb guard from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) walks the mat during a snow storm at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va. This happened on January 3, 2022.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day has become an impressive gallery, with an ever-growing number of images of firearms in all sorts of environments. Today we’re going to add one more, on the subject of a new era of semi-automatic Designated Marksman Rifles (DMR) that is seeing the light of day. The photo shows the Sako M23 DMR for the Finnish Defence Force. It’s a  semi-auto sniper rifle, AR-style and chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. It has a short-stroke gas piston system.

Photo Of The Day – established in 2014 this is our way to show various photos with firearms on a daily basis. There’s always a story to the pictures and hopefully, you’ll learn something new. Below (and above) you have Spc. Michael Moulton, a native of Juneau, Alaska, assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 6th Brigade Engineer Battalion (Airborne), 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Alaska, pulling security while training with aviators from the Alaska Army National Guard at Neibhur Drop Zone.

In today’s Photo Of The Day, we have some photos of Norwegian Navy EODs, US Navy EODs Mobile Unit 8, and Danish Navy EODs training together with the Norwegian Army and Air Force during the Exercise Arctic Specialist. Above you can see some Heckler & Koch HK416s working together from an inflatable boat. Below there’s a heavy Machine Gun.

Photo Of The Day: The Falkland Islands Defence Force is the Volunteer Military Unit first established in 1892. The Force is fully funded by the Falkland Islands Government and works closely with British Forces to provide defence and security to the Falkland Islands.

Photo Of The Day: If you want to hide a horse in the winter, Savotta from Finland may have a solution for you. For the Finnish independence day, they posted these images, which hopefully will put a smile on your face. Savotta have been manufacturing outdoors, hunting and tactical equipment since 1955. Can you identify the firearms in these pictures?

Rice & Shine! Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day and Japanese jungle! Above we see a U.S. Air Force technician from the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron, guarding his fire team’s retreat during a break contact combat exercise. This was part of a multi-day training event in 2019, at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Camp Gonsalves, Japan.

Photo Of The Day: “Any Colour You Like” is one of the tracks on the English band Pink Floyd’s album from 1973, “The Dark Side of the Moon”. It’s also a perfect description for this set of images taken by Jeremy Tremp from the Offensive Marketing Group.

Sometimes a single photo is enough for our Photo Of The Day. Today is such a day. Concamo produces some really effective camouflage patterns and their images follow the same high standards. Most people think there’s just a dog in the picture above. But we have the brand new Heckler & Koch HK433 and a short-barreled Heckler & Koch HK417, most likely a G27P. Note that the HK417 has some really interesting optics, probably a thermal clip-on.

Photo Of The Day: My own vz. 58 rifle in 7.62×39 mm is my “back to basics” rifle, and I intend to keep it in its original configuration forever. Most of the time it’s pretty hard to hit anything beyond 80-100 yards, but if you do things right, it’s pretty rewarding and you can reach out further away with the iron sights. Thanks to friends, I’ve handled a Sturmgewehr, but I’m pretty far from ever owning one. Here we can see two classic icons together, the Sturmgewehr and the vz. 58. The pictures are from Samopal USA, a company that provides Sa vz. 58 and Sa vz. 61 gunsmithing services. 

Photo Of The Day: Last year this blog pumped out one POTD per day, with a few exceptions for public holidays. We intend to continue doing so in 2022, and as you most likely discovered, we already got started. Today we have pictures of Welsh Guards. For more information about the Welsh Guards and their upgraded firearms please check this story Welsh Guards Armoury Upgrade – Heckler & Koch SA80 A3. There are also excellent reference pictures of the SA80 A2 / L85A2 with ELCAN SpecterOS here.

Photo Of The Day: The Derya MK-12 semi-automatic shotgun from Turkey has become increasingly popular in sports and target shooting. They now just released a new drum magazine which is worth sharing some pictures of. While forbidden in some competitions like IPSC Shotgun (max 10+1 rounds and no drum magazines), they can provide a lot of fun at the range anyways.

Our Photo Of The Day brings us to the subject of hunting and thermal imaging. Some say it takes the hunt out of hunting, but it can be a great help and also make dull moments much more interesting. Here you can see the Browning BAR Match in .308 Win and the brand new InfiRay Zoom ZH38 thermal imaging monocular which I brought to a recent hunt. The camera managed to catch the disappearing sunlight just over the InfiRay icon.

Each day a different image from the world of firearms. We call this POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, and it is our daily article series where we go to great lengths trying to find the most interesting pictures for you out there. Above you have a VSS Vintorez used by Special Forces of the Central Military District, at the Ironiya complex during an exercise near Novosibirsk (Russia).

Photo Of The Day: There’s a lot of talent (and firearms) behind the wonderful stream of images produced by Down Range Photography. Above you can see a New Year’s shot of a few of his blasters, certainly a bit out of the ordinary from what you’ll find in a gun shop. The State of Arizona at its best?

Photo Of The Day is TFB’s place where you can unwind and just enjoy interesting pictures for a while. While the rest of this blog is stacked with new releases, information and reviews, you can just enjoy the tranquility and beautiful pictures here. We’ve been doing it since 2014 and keep on going, every day of the year. Today we have an Extreme Long Range Rifle from Victrix Armaments in Italy, with a Steiner riflescope sitting firmly in a ROME mount.

Photo Of The Day: If you thought the word “Italian” in the title was going to save you from seeing firearms Made in Germany, you were wrong. You’re probably as surprised as me that there are no Beretta ARXs. Here we have the Exercise Goldfinger 2021 where Special Forces, Air Forces and Amphibious Forces of the Navy train in the field of maritime counter-terrorism.

It’s been a while since we hade some Kalashnikov content, but in today’s Photo Of The Day that is luckily changing. Who would have thought that one day you could buy Kalashnikovs Made in the USA?
