Thanks for the photos. It was a pleasure viewing them!
These Albert Michaels photos came out spectacular. Usually a lot of these "professional" photographers the watch brands hire and pay don't take good shots w/ their flashes, and I feel I take better indoor flash pictures than these "professionals" sometimes. Cheers, Anthony
...they came out spectacular indeed!
