AquaTerra on AquaTerra
I printed some of my pics the other day, and tonight I took a pic of the AT on the pic of AT. The AT has been unwound and with the hands at 10:10 since March the 10th!
Click for full.  Oh... btw... I was pleasantly surprised when Ritz Camera (where I bought the camera) offered the pay for all my prints in exchange for me allowing them to display my picture in their store!

That is just too cool, about getting free prints.
I guess that make you "Professional" now. Seriously, you pics are up there with the best I've seen. Keep them coming\ btw, my freebe software is "adobe photoshop album starter kit" It let's me play with 25o pictures before they want some money. There are about 4 things I can do to manipulate my images  Free is good for now.

Dude, you got published, you are just about as good as.....nevermind.
  That is very cool that they wanted to use your pic, but I can't blame them. Awesome shot pal.

LOL Two reasons. 1. I really don't know how to use a camera. I only had it a week. My stuff is a lot of trial and error. Bought a book the other day for 19.99 on sale and I read it cover to cover. That tought me quite a bit about photography.2. Tutorials... I already do that on my "home" forum. But if you have questions... ask away. I am a "teacher" for a living so if there is anything you need to know I will do my best to explain to you. My knowledge is yours to have.

I went there to print five samples in 8/10 and they wanted all five of them. They are going to blow the AquaTerra one (the one in the background in the first pic) to 24 by something.

I don't have a lot of free time right now, BUT I have been playing with my camera more already.
With Digital, there is no wasted shots & you see instant results. All thanks to Chip ( and some of the other TRF's)What I don't have time for , is adding the "atmosphere" that you are giving your shots. ( Pepsi, candles, etc etc etc) Pretty creative & imaginative for a techie kinda guy

 I shot all those three with the camera in Aperture Priority mode. If you want to get a shot that is in focus throughout the whole image, you want to shoot at a small aperture. (lens opening) A small aperture (high F-stop on the lens) means that you are not getting a lot of light so you have to have the shutter open for a long time. For those shots I knew that I want a good depth of field, so Aperture Priority mode on a camera allows you to select the F stop while the camera's brain selects the correct exposure times. The AT on AT and the two Ti watches were shot at f16, ISO200 (film/sensor sensivity) and the exposure was around 0.75 seconds I think. The candle light shot, due to the lack of light, did not allow me a high f stop so I shot that at f8 (which reduced my depth of field... which is why I had to zoom out more) ISO 200 and 2 seconds exposure.

Excellent pictures Chip think digital is now up to old fashion film standards.

Wow! If this is what you are doing as a non-professional then you don't need to study a single book or manual, these are some pretty darn impressive pics... makes me think my little shots I took tonight of my Omega Chrono are in need of some creative assisstance!
Great work!

I took my first pic May 2005, and it was horrible. Up until a few weeks ago I was using a very old, ancient point and shoot. In reality, a nice point and shoot is better for watch photography in many ways. ( vs. an expensive dSLR)
