Use the macro function on your point and shoot camera. If you have an SLR, a good macro lens is invaluable for this kind of work, or you can crop the image in photo editing software to get a similar effect, which is what I did in the shot below. You can crop even more for a tighter shot.
Nice shot, BTW, Dan! ![]() |

![]() ![]() I can get much closer, but I have a dedicated 1:1 ratio macro lens just for that. All in all, the truth is that if all you want to do is get close to your watch, spending AT LEAST 400 bucks on a decent macro lens is simply not worth it. That's a good shot. Keep at it. ![]() ![]()

I can get sooooo close with my specialised set up. "CRB" engraved rehaut/flange at 200X.
Don't ask me how much it cost though, phew. ![]() Gold "Blasted" Bezel ![]()

Agreed. This pic has beautiful lighting, and I see that you took Bo's advice.
