ajoesmith Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Before reading members advice a few days ago on taking pics, my pics looked like this Crap i know, not bad but crap compared to other peoples pics of their watches So enabled with my point and shoot piece of crap casio exilim, dont buy one as a point and shoot i think they are rubbish, i went to the coffee table near the living window where there was lots of light. I set the camera to auto focus, not macro, set it to the lowest ISO setting which was 50 on my camera. I have a very small tripod, i paid $2 for it so you can imagine how small it is, set the camera on the tripod, set the 2 sec timer and shot 3 pics of my APROO secs at 12. I then downloaded google Picasa Using Picasa tools, auto contrast, sharpen, highlight, shadows and fill light my pics have now turned out like this. Excuse the dust, i forgot to clean the watch Now all along i thought it was my camera as i built a light box and everything. Me thinks not bad...

Shundi Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wow! What a change! I agree...if you look at the review I posted to day there's a marked difference in photos where I used diffuse natural light (it was a cloudy day) and indoor lighting.

mwee Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice! So you use a point and shoot camera for this? Great as mine is one too and unlikely to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yes a point and shot casio, dont recommend it as a usual camera. It is nowhere new as good a a fujifilm i had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbchubb Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 A great improvement and it only proves that while generally the quality of your equiment does matter - even more decisive for good results is knowledge, care and training.
