So I have always loved photography and have finally picked up a semi decent camera. I am totally new to the scene and thought the best way to start is to take some photos of my Sub.

I would appreciate any tips and feedback on the pics, there are some amazing photos on the forum and I'd like to get there one day.

Thank you!

The reflection of the crown on the case is amazing :)

I learned early on it's not the camera, it's the photographer. Natural lighting, selecting the best angle to eliminate glare, doing your best to reduce any dust, and lots & lots of practice.

Nice pics, btw.

Thanks all! I will try the car trick for sure!

Yes, dust specs and glare are frustrating pieces, thanks for the tips!

Use a north facing window, also cloudy days.

It's not hard, natural sunlight is going to give the best results if you're not using studio lights and a controlled lighting environment. Millions of examples across the internets on lighting. Your fourth pic is where you should start from and move forward as you've already the right idea with that one.

It's called: Chronography

You know it when you see it.

Should post this to Reddit and they need some quality pictures. Normally all im seeing is people trying to take pictures while driving lol.

You are doing fine.

Nice pix.

Andad · 2 February 2024, 06:20 PM

Do you have any macro pix?

Bazil · 3 May 2024, 10:26 PM

I always try to get some good shots but fail miserably, yours look really good ..

Its amazing the quality you can get from a new iPhone Pro camera, but it still comes down to getting the lighting correct and now capturing the phone reflection in the face of the watch
