Ok Grasshopper now I challenge you for a catalog shot, a perfect set up with the hands in correct position.

Just imagine you are playing on your violin when you create your next shot.

brady · 28 January 2010, 06:19 AM

Why is that considered the correct position?

JBat · 28 January 2010, 06:22 AM

The battle is escalating. Nice shot, Jocke!

It's kind of a classic watch catalogue setup. The watch is said to "smile" with the hands like that. The date is easily visible, as is the writing on the dial (most importantly, the brand.

). It just looks symetrical. Check out some watch ads.

Jocke excellent photo but do not slam the grasshopper to much under the bus.

Where do you see the date?

It's not the 3rd today.

I will never slam a guy with glasses.

I just try to get up a level with his work.

Nope, I do this for dying.

I'm just a regular guy, a poor auto mechanic that do my best.

But with the second hand at 30 seconds, shouldn't the minute hand be in between the minute markers, not bang on the 11th minute mark.
Kyles old shot is looking pretty good there.

I guess it's the angle, when I look from the other side it's perfect.

I think you could start selling prints on Ebay and make some good change. The good quality photographs of Rolex watches are rare outside of TRF.

STEELINOX · 28 January 2010, 07:09 AM

nope, sorry, the second hand is supposed to be at "32" seconds also !

DSJ · 28 January 2010, 02:09 PM

Oh man, "it's on now!"

gelshocker · 28 January 2010, 02:20 PM

Sorry to sound pedantic, shouldn't the seconds hand point to 31?

bodybump · 28 January 2010, 02:22 PM
