I got a new camera body this week so decided to take a few pics of the wife's watch.

Otis · 28 August 2006, 10:00 PM

Very nice! I like that highlight on the dial in the first one.
What body did you get?

Earl · 28 August 2006, 10:18 PM

Very nice pictures Adrian :o)

Very nice 'gift' Adrian, and great pix. You're quite the shooter!

Congratulations. At least you've proved beyond a shadow of doubt (many times!) that you are worthy of such a great camera.

We'll look forward to more wonderful pics Adrian!

I need to get over to Pennington Flash again and give it a real try out.

Great photos of a great watch

JJ Irani · 29 August 2006, 04:24 AM

Bravo!

You've even managed to capture the etching quite clearly in the second pic. Superb work!!

Lucky you!

It's an excellent bit of kit. Can't wait to see some of your bird shots from it.

We both like it and the MOP dial changes colour depending on the light.

Put them up anyway. I'm sure they're just fine and if they're not then someone here will point you in the right direction.

My names Adrian, the Steve thing is a bit of an inside joke, something about my resemblance to Steve Martin. Thanks for the compliment and don't be embarrassed about posting pictures.

I used a digital SLR with a macro lens, this enabled me to focus manually on the crystal surface. Then I did a bit of digital enlargement, hence the grain.

jhnnyjr100 · 25 September 2006, 07:15 AM

oops sorry Adrian...
and there is a bit of a resemblance there......

also to Paul Newman (when he was much younger, of course)

People have said that before. Another one I get is George Dubya but I'm not proud of that.

Aside from the fact you both walk upright... I see no resemblance.

Launch Mini · 26 September 2006, 01:17 PM

They were great before, now they are fantastic

I think they started doing that in about '02. My '03 GMT has it. When do yours date from?
