Hee is some pictures (lousy, I know) of the Christmas present the wife got me.

I am using a Canon S400 and have never tried to take macros, so if anyone has any suggestions, I am open.

Can't help with the photos, but the watch is very nice. You are lucky.

Blue Bull · 28 December 2006, 02:27 AM

Rich wife,lucky man,very nice watch ...

GerardoG · 28 December 2006, 02:31 AM

WOW! VERY nice, congrats!!!

padi56 · 28 December 2006, 03:10 AM

A very nice present

JJ Irani · 28 December 2006, 03:35 AM

Beautiful watch, you lucky guy!!

Set the camera on "macro" mode. A small yellow lotus flower will pop up on the LCD screen. There should be a lotus flower on the SELECTOR round switch too.

DON'T use the flash. Try and use natural lighting and make sure that no light is bounching of the non-AR coated crystal of the watch. Try and get in at an angle if you can so you don't see your own reflection in the crystal.

Use a tripod if you have one 'cause you will need a rock steady hand when employing the camera in "macro" mode. The results, I assure you, will be very satisfying.

Good luck - JJ

Thank you all.

JJ,

I will try and follow your instructions, but the one's posted above are "the good" ones............ :-)

A lot of the pics had the flash block out the entire picture. I will play some more and when I get some better ones, I will post and also post the other Rolex watches I have.

Thanks.

All I want to know is, does your wife have any sisters?

A very nice present indeed. And yet you still refer to her as "the wife"?!

My MIL is great. She says, she wishes she got along with her daughter, as good as she gets along with her SIL.......

My wife bought me the following:

2001 - DD 18K Presidential - Roman Dial
2004 - TT Sub - Blue Dial

And, of course, this one.

She is great and worth the other baubles that I have to give to her, to keep her happy and spending on me....

No thanks. I have all the watches I want for now.

dssxxxx · 30 December 2006, 12:43 AM

You can never have enough watches...........especially Rolex.

Both brothers are married within the last 10 years, so you know they do not have any money for a Rolex.........:-)

I have thought about giving my TT 14K DJ to my BIL for a gift, but I don't know if he would really appreciate it.
