Finally got a pic of the crown in the crystal

Got bored with the Bears blowing out the Seahawks so I took these pics. Finally got around to it.

Great catch. Way to go. Still haven't found mine yet. Guess I really haven't tried that hard yet.

Nikon d300 with a 60mm nikon macro lens. The d300 is not the key, the lens is the key. I shined a flashlight from 12:00 to 6:00. Aperature wide open and ASA speed high maximize shutter speed since this was handheld. A tripod would make it easier. then I put the camera in manual focus mode, put the focus distance as close as possible, and then looked through the viewfinder and moved in towards the watch until the crown was in focus. Then I cropped the photos to what you see here. I just realized that I could probably get it bigger because I actually had the resolution turned down. Maybe I'll try again sometime.

Lens is the key. Tough to get this with a regular lens.

Nice shots. When did they start putting the crown on the crystals?
