    Yo Leonard,

    Tried taking a few but pictures turned out very bad and I'm using 8.1MP camera. Any advises to take the pictures?

        I really dummy, how to edit my post ah? hahaha

        Speaking of which, Leonard, I got small wrist so the sponge to hold the watch is usually too big for deployment buckle watches, any suggestions on that?

          I am no sure if Leonard replied you on how to take photos, but I will just give two cents worth anyway:

          1. Try to take pictures of your watch in the daylight. Artificial lighting at home are usually not bright enough. You can place the watch near the window or tilt it at an angle to let more light bounce of.

          2. Your digital camera should have a MACRO mode. Use it. it is for taking very short distance objects. Try to use a mini-tripod if possible to reduce shaking. Do not use flash (especially when you are taking picture in the day).

          3. Use a simple and clean background for your watch as a start. For e.g., place your watch on a black or white/beige or pastel-coloured cardboard. And adjust your watch hands of your timepiece to a "10:10" position.

          I hope this helps.

                Hi Billy

                quick help on posting picture

                1) Resize your pictures to web 'friendly' size. Usually I choose 1024x768 pixels. You can resize your pictures using freeware like Irvanview

                http://www.irfanview.com/

                This is my favourite freeware, not only for resizing, but for basic touch up. It's not as sophisticated as Photoshop, but very easy to use.


                2) Upload your pictures in free picture hosting site. I use Photobucket. It's free and quite fast. Of course there are plenty other options beside Photobucket.

                http://photobucket.com/


                3) Now you are ready for posting your pictures by clicking on the icon 'insert image', paste and copy the location of your picture in Photobucket. Or if you want to have a shortcut without clicking on the insert image icon, just copy and paste 'IMG Code' when you post your message in the forum

                It should work. Give a try
