This is my 992B. I was trying out a new camera and just laid it on the counter and tried doing different things, not sure what an ice cube is? I wanted to post a picture so I could learn how and to be sure the size was okay. New to it all so any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Tim, the posting worked, and it looks like you have a nice watch there.

There are some reflections that give the illusion the watch is encased in ice (like the old Studebaker ads).

If the picture we taken in color with less contrast, it would look a lot better. Nice watch.

Tim,

We have "Posting Guidelines for Watches" in this and other forums.

And a specific forum on our Discussion Site...

Click here: How to Photograph Your Watches and Clocks

In there you will find information about sizing your images and posting them on our site.

I think the "illusion" and "ice" comments are the fact that the reflections from the window have created this interesting image. Some of our IHC185 Members use light boxes or tents. Using our "Find-or-Search" feature brings up other suggestions.

Also, keep in mind that extremely large images cannot be viewed by those with slower internet connections or smaller screens. Due to those considerations and to avoid overloading storage capacity our system is set up to not accept poster size images.

We recommend keeping images under 100 pixels and find a size of 640 X 480 works well.

Hope this helps,

Debbie

It looked to me like it was in a block of ice (or in an ice cube). Frozen in time! ... ok, i'll stop

Yeah, detail wise it isn't too bad, color would be better, but it showed up at a decent size on my screen. Take away the time stamp at the bottom and it should be good!
