With due sense of impending embarrassment at my hopeless photographic skills compared to some of you guys, here are a couple of pics of my Steelfish. I've had it a couple weeks now, so here are two wrists shots....

....and a slightly out of focus and not overly successful attempt at a lume shot. :oops:

Nothing wrong with them - nice shots (except the lume :wink: ) and a nice watch.

I am all in favour of more photographers with less skills than the likes of Ron et al, less embarassing for the rest of us!

It's not that ropey - I'll give you a tenner for it!

:D

No - nothing wrong with the pics, good clarity (apart from the lume shot) - just maybe needing a tripod and a solid wrist for that one. Did you give it a "charge" before taking the last one?

Yeah I did, but not too much. The lume on the Steelfish is pretty strong anyway compared to some of the other models. I also couldn't let it get any darker as I was only using my camera-phone, and it's hopeless in low light conditions.

I still REALLY need a proper camera!

I really like how the details of the dial stands out in the first pics. Well done!

It's a beauty, Driver. I'm wearing its identical twin at
the moment, which I've had for only a couple months.
Someday, when I can afford it, I'm going to buy a camera
and actually post a few pix.

Great watch, nice photos.

Nice fish, Driver8. :thumbsup:

I have no idea how you got pictures that good out of a camera phone. Every camera phone I've ever tried to use resulted in awful blurry pictures. I can't even get my Canon to take shots like that first one of yours (I was trying it yesterday in my office with the new PO, then my boss came in and asked what I was doing)...

Way to go Driver8! Glad to have you back among the realm of Steelfish owners. I knew you couldn't stay away. Congratulations.
