You actually got the blue to come out on the hands - how did you do that? I've saved your photos to my database on my watches because yours are SO much better than anything I can achieve. What equipment do you use? Thanks, -Robert

Hi Robert, thanks for the compliment:). Actually I took many shots to get that. The hands need to be viewed at certain angle, with lightinng also at certain angle too.;) I did some minor touch up with the pics with Photoshop too. ;) You mentioned it contained a Croc grained strap? Wow!face4.gif I got only a plain black leather strap from SEIKO. I think with a Black or Dark BLue Corc grain or genuine Croc will spark it right off!!!hand6.gif I almost forgot, I was using a CANON 350D with a SIGMA 50mm macro lens. smile4.gif Last edited on Tue Nov 7th, 2006 01:50 pm by watchboy |

Thanks for the information on the equipment you used. I need to get a better camera. I'm using a small low-end 5meg Sony that is terrific for shots of the children but isn't very good for Macro shots and has zero lighting control other than flash on-flash off.:( I mentioned the Croc Black strap because I just got it in the mail. The standard Cordovan strap is nice but FAR too short for me. I believe that if your wrist is greater than ~7 1/4 inches (~185mm) the strap will be a disappointment. So, I purchased an XL strap in Croc Grain black leather for $7 and added a $10 deployant. I'm looking at getting a nice Cordovan Color Croc strap for it too.:P XL straps (215mm+) are rather hard to find at descent prices. I've been gathering information on companies that routinely stock them and sharing it on another list that has a forum devoted to Straps:) Do you use a light box in your photography of the watches? I tried my other Sony - only 1.3meg but it has laser tech for focus and seems to do a bit better job on closeups.  Last edited on Tue Nov 7th, 2006 03:54 pm by Docrwm |
