TT Sub

I was taking pics of sub in order to sell and some how ended up with this pic. I'm guessing it's from placing my finger on the flash by accident.

The picture is not too bad actually. I don't see any traces of flash.

Select MACRO mode, flash OFF and place camera on a solid object. Use natural light and pay attention to the crystal when taking the picture. See that there's no light reflecting off it.

The problem with Rolex is that they do not use Anti-reflective coating on their crystals, so lots of light gets bounced off all the time. So...an angular approach and a use of natural light would be of great help in giving you better pictures.

Good luck - JJ

Well, in actual fact, I do like the angle and the colour, but that white light across the crystal and lack of focus is spoiling the set up.

Just try what I've advised above and I'm sure you'll get there!!

Cheers - JJ

You're welcome. If you want an angle shot....try something like this which I shot in natural sunlight!!
