What camera are you using? What is the megapixel? I have been using my wife's camera and cannot get any where the picture you are getting. It will not focus that close even using the micro.

It's not the camera, my friend.....but the guy behind it.

I've seen some amazing pics with fairly basic cameras and vice versa!!

Jocke is a master - he could produce award-winning pics with even a bloody handphone!!

your picture is very clear. Is this your LV sub with black inserts or an SS sub with maxi dial?

Great photo Jocke....but the bezel insert is supposed to be green so somehow the lighting changed the insert to black, that is pretty cool lighting

well, the resolution is extremely fine; where is the light placed? the face is well lit, yet the right side of the photo lights up the right side of the bezel, whereas the other side(of the bezel only) is dark, and no shadow, except at the very top of the photo. i would say, Jocke, all in all, not bad.
best,
dan

Great Shot Jocke! Is it an Octabox that I see in the highlight on the bezel?
