Thursday Night Photo; Carrera Love Fest Continues


I was playing with a different camera tonight; Canon G9 instead of the usual Nikon CoolPix. I got the Canon last year, as the convenient travel camera, to carry in a pocket or pouch, when the SLR is just too big. The Canon has been awesome in that role.

I spent some time fooling around with the G9 in the macro mode tonight, and never really got it dialed-in to get good consistent shots. This was the best shot of the evening, showing the latest object of my affection . . . Carrera 45 Dato.

It certainly did a nice job of capturing the broken hash-marks on the inner bezel, around the 44 / 45 minute marks!!

I will probably give this super machine another chance or two with the watches, then we go back to the five-year old, $200 Nikon CoolPix . . . hard to beat the Nikons for macro.
