Thanks for the nice pam shot Marty. I just started taking pics, very new to the photo game. It looks to me like you have a great camera, half the battle right there my friend. I also love that Pam Mike

Ditto! If that's your 'entry level' attempt, you're going to be a star!

Looks good, Marty. Next, experiment with the angle of the watch (relative to the camera & light source) to see if you can eliminate more of the reflection in the crystal.

Niceeeee. Marty.. great shot!!!

I myself like some reflection off the lens at times.. it shows "life" in the pic... to me it makes it more multidimensional .. I use the reflections to accent some areas of the dial for macro's..

Regardless..all it'll take now is more reps. with the camera... you'll end up taking 50 to 60 shots and end up finding a few that you really can work with and like.. experience increases results

keep shooting

Or use a polarizing filter to remove/reduce the reflection.
