Thanks, guys!

This was just an improvised setup to see if it was was worth my time building a proper light box. Next stop will be a two-flourescent light setup with the option of two additional lights. It'll probably take me a few weeks to get round to doing that (I've got a power steering pump to fix first) but I'll post pics as soon as I get it up and working!

Are you talking about my size 13 feet? Or my built in walking stick?

Thanks, SWOS! It's a bit of a nightmare at the moment, actually. It looks like either the dealer or original owner sold the bracelet, and it had a strap when I bought it. After searching for ages, I've finally gotten the right 78360 bracelet for it, but now the screws are jammed in there and I can't resize it. It looks like I've got to take it to my watch guy and see if he's got an ultrasonic cleaner that can break up all the dirt that's been stuck there for the last twenty years.

Okay, got my lenses today, although there seem to be some manufacturing defects and I'll have to send them back for exchange. In the meantime, here are some experimental shots I took, and it looks like I may need some further practice:

Hey, what can I say, Craig? I don't play fair.

Thanks, guys! Yeah, Paul, and like Peter says, 3 megapixels is more than enough for a good shot.

Now, for my next trick, a coronet shot! I'll see if I can get round to it tonight.
