Icon17 tried taking pics of my gmt-master II...

ive had my gmt II now for about two weeks... i just cant manage to take a decent pic...

here are my attempts... maybe i shouldnt try for arty farty pics... guess the last one is ok...










ps... the gmt is sitting on "can art"... which is a picture cut out of a real can of coca cola, which is then mounted and framed

Very cool! These are very good. Don't be so critical of your photography, it's better than you think.

The pics are great, Harvey and the bezel colours are identical to the Coca Cola memorabilia

The pictures look pretty good to me but the coke references might attract unwanted attraction from a certain mod!

what's wrong with your photographs? i think they're great! we have a lot of professional photographers on TRF, but you'll just drive yourself nuts if you compare yourself to them...after all they make a living taking photos and have training, usually many years.
best,
dan

dan, i think youre right... well i know youre right... i do compare my pics to most of them posted here...

anyways, i do have fun taking the pics... and they are definately getting better than the first ones i posted last month...

although i have to admit i do take them when the family is out... they dont understand... and i dont want to explain to them... again lol
