Hope you like the shot! Very tricky to picture a reflective shiney surface like that. Got her today!

Seven. SEVEN years?!! I'm 2 1/2 years into a 5 year list at my local jewelers

I'm hugely envious. Enjoy it

Find the writing being out of focus quite distracting, would look better if you blacked the white writing out IMHO.

I did think of increasing the dof to get it all focused but liked it like that. 60mm micro Nikkor works a treat.

Put my name down in 3 jewlers in 1999 and this was the first call. The jeweler today told me that they get 1 a year and now have 59 names on the list!!

I am wondering whether to sell it, pocket the 2 grand profit and then get a Panaeri Luminor

60 watt table lamp over the mirror... then made it B&W to lose the nasty orange glow.

Why is it you allways notice things like fingerprints after you put the camera gear away?

Shame you don't use a Nikon.
