I've been shooting with this camera for a while and got "okay" results, I had never shot macro before so I was acting under the belief that because I can hold a camera still enough for normal shots iI would be okay for macro... To compensate for low shutter speed (because of improper lighting) I had my stop wide open at f2.8 which of course gave me a razor thin focus... I quickly reached a level where I could not improve my photos and was not happy with the results. A few days ago I bought a cheap little tripod, now I could use a f8 and any shutter speed I wanted... using a shutter delay allows no movement of the camera or tripod and I find that I can actually improve on the manual focus (even though it has very small steps, it is still stepped) by slightly moving the tripod or the subject. So I'll be working on the technical aspects now, lighting later, and I can hope I'm struck with some artistic talent after I have technique down. My camera is a 12.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot A650IS and I'm enjoying it.

The Daytona is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex ever. No matter what anyone says, the watch is absolutely flawless.
That being said and out of the way, let me just add that this Alaskan beauty makes it look like, well, like a regular swiss chronograph. :p |

Felly (a devout drooling certified Daytona freak DIS (Daytona Idiot Savant)) visited today... Mainly (okay... completely) because of the above photos. As much as Felly loves Daytonas, he is now hopelessly in love with the Alaska  I was not sure if I was going to get my watch back  And had to actually sanitize the A.P. due to his excessive drooling. That being said, I must admit I really like the dome or super dome crystal's shape... (I believe it may be plastic, and I would much prefer synthetic sapphire like Rolex) The Apollo hand for the sub dials and the RED "in your face" tachymetre hand are striking in their contrast to the stark of the white dial. The black 500 unit bezel looks almost vintage, overall it's hard to stop starring, I noticed a few eyes on the watch today from people that have never even noticed my Daytona... Anyway, I probably just have new watch syndrome... And of course Daytonas RULE... but, I think I'll wear the Alaska tomorrow too
