After much deliberation, I bit the bullet... Nikon D80. Still working my way around it. Having color balance problems w/my halogen lighting

.
Oh well, part of the learning curve...

Great pics!!! Love that GMT.

Teofilo · 10 August 2007, 02:28 AM

Pat, that third shot is really great !

Bama · 10 August 2007, 03:59 AM

Pics look great

JJ Irani · 10 August 2007, 04:04 AM

Artistically subdued shots. Great stuff!!

SSD · 10 August 2007, 04:34 AM

Great shots! Depth of field was handled beautifully! Well done indeed

jjs · 10 August 2007, 08:14 AM

Great shots! You've brought out the inner beauty of the GMT II

Incurable · 10 August 2007, 12:07 PM

Thanks guys... I'm still developing my 'bag-o-tricks' when it comes to watch shots. I prefer a little drama in my shots and try to use the full range of dark to light. I'll post more as I get them. Really enjoying the new D80. It's the real deal...

Congrats on the choice of camera. Great photography.

SSD · 23 August 2007, 03:13 AM

What style of lens are you using, BTW?

Rockrolex · 23 August 2007, 03:16 AM

Pat, you can't go wrong when you have a fantastic subject to work with. Beautiful pics of a beautiful watch.

Incurable · 24 August 2007, 03:20 PM

Been away for a few days... thanks for the comments. I'm having a great time with my new 'toy'. Predictably, Nikon just announced their new D300 and D3 models boasting some ground breaking, pretty incredible specs. Fortunately, both are beyond my price point and the D80 should serve fine for years to come.

I'm pretty sure I was using the Nikon 'kit' lens, an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX ED II AF-S, blah, blah, blah...

Focal Length: 55mm
Mode: P
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/4 sec.
Aperture: f/5.6
Compensation: -1/3 step
WB: Custom

All the shots were taken using a Quantaray portable light box and a pair of 50w halogen lights. I've been playing with shooting in NEF (RAW) format lately... Significant improvement over JPG. I'll have to do another session using RAW and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately, I noticed my bracelet has some light scuffing action going on. I have no idea how, never brushed up against anything that I know of... Oh well, better get those glamour shots quick before age takes it's toll on my new/old friend...

myan · 1 October 2007, 11:07 PM

Great shot!! what lens you are using? I have the same watch and plan to take some pic when i got time later :D
