Hi Ruckdee C:

Thanks for some good suggestions. I'll try them out. The Macro setting on the camera is between 8" and 31", I was about 9" from the watch on this one. Hope to get some other shots done and when I perfect them a bit more, I'll post them.

Regards

: directly above the watch. I imagine that it will give the
: watch some highlight on the crystal near the crown and
: leave the other half quite dim. I don't know what is the
: minimum focusing distance of your new Olympus but you
: should have no problem moving in close.

: What about backlighting? I have never seen a backlighted
: Speedy before. I'm not sure if it will work out well. But
: it surely will yield a different (hopefully, cool) effect.

: Hope this helps! :)
