... shot from a few weeks ago...
It's nothing special, and I took it hand held just to check the white balance setting.
I was cleaning my hard drive today, and I ran into it, and I kinda liked it.

Cool pic Chip thanks a lot for sharing

Chip - great shot. Thanks for sharing. What equipment do you use? I tried taking photos of my watches with a 28-135mm Canon IS USM lens on a Canon Digital Rebel but they just don't turn out that great. What's the secret?

That was actually shot handheld with a Nikon D50, and a 50mm Sigma lens.

No lightbox... just a kitchen counter.

You are bloody good, Chip.....and you bloody well know it, tosser!!

JBat · 6 February 2008, 07:03 AM

Great shot and watch. I like how you captured all the surface detail of the watch.

You might also like this if you like the surface detail...

Is that SS or Ti Chip?
I may be wrong, but it looks Ti to me. Can't be many of those left.

SLRdude · 7 February 2008, 12:37 AM

the omega is a Ti.
The lug shot is a Hamilton Jazzmaster in SS.

vukotab · 7 February 2008, 02:03 AM

Great photos,Chip.Thanks for sharing.

JBat · 7 February 2008, 04:44 AM

Chip, the second shot is excellent. It looks almost abstract due to the extreme closeup, and the brush detail on the lug is amazing. Nice job. I do love macro photography.

This is the crown on a 30 years old Speedmaster Pro which now belongs to Milke... I always wondered what this watch has been though...

and the clasp...

the back...

the movement....

Or the dial...

And finally... a full shot...
