Hey Hucky, here's a few tips for what they are worth: If are shooting outdoors try not to photograph in direct sun light. Direct sunlight blows out the image with hot highlights and grainy shadows. Try to shoot on overcast days or late in the after noon just after the sun drops below the horizon, this will give you a softer ambient light. If you want to shoot indoors, check out the "bay" for complete kits containing tabletop light tent and photo light setup. You can find them priced very reasonably and get great results.

Cheers. :D

The key word is "practice" Hucky... You seem to have figured that out Buddy!hand6.gif....everyone finds there own comfort level and what suits them and the cam they are using best....Demo likes overcast...I prefer direct sunlight on the watch (sun to my back)when outdoors but I use a UV lens to take all the harshness out...one tip is go to Sams Club and buy one of the "Sunlight" adjustable desk lamps for $25. for indoors and you will see the difference in your shots. yourock.gif
cool, thanks much.

Ill keep practicing

But then, I don't win the pic of the week much, either!!! mistake.gif

Yes, and this is one of Ken's best ever shots.subtlelaugh.gif

Believe it or not, I never use a tripod to shoot my watches. I'm always manuvering around to get the best angle for a shot and the tripod is too restrictive. I do have very steady hands though. I do use a tripod when I'm shooting higher quality shots where I need resolution higher than 72 dpi for the web.

Hey Hucky, if those lizards taste like chicken, sounds like they need a little hot sauce and blue cheese to dip them in. subtlelaugh.gif

Up north here we call them Buffalo Wings. subtlelaugh.gif

Lizard I have never eaten?

Those little guys are my pets, they roam free and get used to me and the wife, they roam my front yard and back yard, I buy 2000 crickets med and small at a time and set them loose 2 x a month for food, the lizards just hang out when you walk by them they almost let me pick them up.

I rescued them from a field in Huntington Beach where a new housing tract was going to go.

Hucky, very cool that you care about the lizards. We need more people in this world that take care of the little creatures around us. They look like cool little pets.
