The ...Thank you all for visiting and commenting! <br /><br />The shutter speed on the second shot was 4 seconds. If you look at the face of the watch, you can clearly see 4 distinct impressions of the second hand and a very faint 5th. The second hand on this watch moves in discrete step. This was a surprise to me when I saw the photo because I was not expecting that behavior. <br /><br /><br />It's am amazing watch because it has no battery for the owner to replace. The internal battery is charged through the face of the watch. If the watch is left in the dark, the hands stop moving, but it maintains time (for as long as it can).Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602270653912355966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333098664955850306.post-72603496473333532092010-01-29T18:03:26.743-05:002010-01-29T18:03:26.743-05:00Very cool idea!

Three seconds is my guess. Quartz second hands jump. Both are nice photos and very creative.<br /><br />Ya gotta have (and use) a tripod. I've had my SLIK Pro 700DX for years. The first thing I did when I got it was buy a short post. The legs are independently adjustable and splay out so I can get close to the ground. My quick release plate is too big to stay on my camera.<br /><br />Another neat thing about this tripod is the two built in levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333098664955850306.post-83337133592138945662010-01-29T15:30:26.091-05:002010-01-29T15:30:26.091-05:00I like how the reflection shows off the grain of t...I like how the reflection shows off the grain of the wood.

Boy, was I wrong! I got one with a quick release plate and it stays permanently attached to the camera. It takes mere seconds to get the camera on the tripod, so I use it much more. I recommend one with separate legs and ball head. There are a multitude of variables. You need to isolate the ones important to you and then find the best match. I actually ue a spreadsheet to help me track this and to keep an eye on prices. <br /><br />I'm really like the Canon macro. They just introduced a 100mm L version with image stabilization. It’s double the price and my experience is that with macro, you need a tripod, so the IS is nice, but probably not necessary. <br /><br />Have you ever visited New York Camera and Video on Street Road in Southampton? It should be reasonably close to you. It’s a dangerous place for your bank account. The people are very helpful and they stock a lot of equipment. <br />http://www.nycv.com/index.htm<br /><br />On the lens/CP. I suspect you might see vignette below 25mm, but it might be fine at higher focal lengths. One trick is to google for your lens and see what others are commenting about the CP’s they have used. <br /><br />Good luck and email me anytime.Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602270653912355966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333098664955850306.post-54520797074268140772010-01-28T23:43:03.532-05:002010-01-28T23:43:03.532-05:00Great pictures.
