Man...I love these type of pics. Amazing how close you get...heck, you demonstrate how much 'slop' there is in the text on a dial...something obviously the eye can't capture. Send more when you get a chance...I can't stop looking! Cheers.

My apologies Jocke, I thought it was JJ Irani posting the pictures. I was looking at the watch instead of the member name. I am truly sorry. I appreciate you following up on the technical photography information.

Bisquitlips · 15 December 2008, 08:25 AM

I wonder how much more attention Rolex would pay to the macro details of their timepieces if they only knew that Jocke and his camera were were on the prowl...!

wzz · 15 December 2008, 10:41 PM

Thank you Jocke. I always wondered how it was done.

I bought a Sony 10.1MP camera last week:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1215217299947

I have been trying to get some macro shots, and I can get pretty tight, but not at all to the quality you can get with your setup.

Are there any settings such as the ISO, zoom rate, etc that you use with all cameras for macros?

Again, I'm a big fan of your work, WELL DONE!

wzz · 15 December 2008, 10:42 PM

And that pic in my avatar was taken with a cell phone FYI, lol.

frostie · 15 December 2008, 10:58 PM
