I bought a piece of highly collectable "Ruska" stoneware made by Arabia of Finland. Collectable because manufacture ceased n 1960. I wanted to send a photo to a friend of mine and took a quick snap with my small Canon P&S. I was astonished by the quality of the photo. I almost looks like a shot that could be used in an advertisment.
It jus goes to show that one doesn't have to be a professonal photographer with massively expensive equipment to achieve good results.

Hurrah for Arabia! I have a few pieces that were my mother's china. Ittala now distributes them,, though the color seems not to be available currently. Good stuff. And interesting.

It does look like a photo you would see on a site or in a catalog.

Yes @
CellarDweller, even I was surprised by how it came out and you echo my thoughts exactly.

I don't think you could have got the focus any better. That's usually what I have trouble with on macros, the focus is just off just enough to drive me crazy.

It was pure luck @
InbetweenDreams. I'm no photographer and my snaps are always taken with a small P&S
