Photography Advice
Hey guys,
I've been looking at the pics you guys took of your watches and they really look amazing. What kind of cameras are you guys using? Any techniques you care to share? Thanks in advance, lorsban |

I just use a Canon SD750 (point and shooter).....and get that macro as close as possible!! Outside shots are best...unless you're like Jocke and have a pro studio setup

All good advice.
 One cheap and easy trick is to use the inside of a large, white, plastic waste paper basket as a diffuser. Place your subject [hopefully a Rolex] inside with your light source outside. This will create a nice glow and a seemingly endless background.Good luck, dP

Canon EOS 30D with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro USM lens.
Good tip Dan on the makeshift light box. Very nice results. |

Here's a good thread on the topic to give you further tips:
Picture Taking Of Your Rolex. I use a Sony Cyper-shot "DSC-T25", btw. Great for macro shots!
