Explorer war part II>>>>>>>>

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.

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.

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 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.

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