Since you have a cannon this freeware may be helpful. I have a Sony and WinXP reads and dose this for me. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/canoncam.html I also use this due to being to cheep to buy a photo payware tool like photoshop. LOL :D I use MS Paint for cropping pix only and that tool for sharpening and sizing the pix. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/irfan.html I don't use a trypod either. I just practice allot and about 1 in 10 pix comes out half way decent LOL :D I am loosy at taking pix but just like to try so I can share my treasures. :cool: ;)

I used that very same camera for quite some time Hucky. First off dudes...get a tripod. It really will make a big difference. With the Canon I used the macro setting occassionally and always used the timer so I could clear out and get out of any reflections. Natural light works best and if you diffuse it with a lightbox or sheet it works great!!

I find that taking pics outside using the natural sunlight turns out pretty good. It is tough to get good lighting inside unless you diffuse the light like what was mentioned. Also, some cameras take good close-up pics of watches and some just do not. I have one camera that will just not take good pics of watches. It does take some practice, and only a small percentage of the pictures turn out just right. I recommend getting a light tent for inside pics. You can buy one that is decent at Wal-Mart for about $50. I haven't used a Tripod, but it would probably be fun to play around with one. (A couple of my best pics. Note that most of them are shot outside. Only the Aubry-Bezel Pro was shot inside)        Last edited on Fri Sep 28th, 2007 07:05 pm by jclevoy |

Hucky...I'm not sure the camera makes all that much difference...I am still using a 3-year old Casio point & shoot 4.0mp QV-R40. The only thing I know how to do is turn the flash of, turn the macro on, and set the 2-second timer. The biggest help I had was a $7 mini-tripod!!! But then, I don't win the pic of the week much, either!!!

The outdoor shooting has made a big difference, all those were without a tripod, being a Welder I have a steady hand, but im gonna get a tripod soon. Thanks for the tips men. Appreciated, look for some great shots soon Hucky
