using a UV filter. Just trying to show the different colours of blue used in three of my watches. Not sure what, if anything, the pictures prove.

I think it proves you can take a good picture Joe, excellent work

Thanks!

Usually I put up a blanket behind me, but I was in a hurry. Well, I was just lazy.

In the cyclops you can see the stairs going up to the second floor deck.

That's my favorite Yachtmaster. That combo is the best out of that line.

Oh my goodness !!
What lovely photographs ! They all look so beautiful especially the Rolex Submariner. How did you get to capture the blue of that dial ?

BigHat · 28 January 2009, 09:45 AM

Joe,
Nice work.

I'm a sucker for the "rolex blue" and that's a number of gradations of the cobalt / Navy blue that you captured.

mike · 28 January 2009, 09:58 AM

Wonderful photos buddy.

I really starting to love blue!!

kcmo · 28 January 2009, 10:44 AM

Nice work Joblow.

I have to admit to warming towards the blue/gold YM.

The blue sub is a the winner though, hands down.

The blue TT YM is one you either love or hate. I have to admit that it is the only Rolex I own that looks best in dress casual and not all that well in jeans or camo.

The gold bezel stands out more than the blue bezel insert.

buz-lh · 29 January 2009, 03:09 AM

I think the fact that you posted three pictures all in focus is worth something.

I still can't do that.

I ain't very smart so what I have learned to do is this. For dial shots I place the camera exactly six inches away from the watch, use a UV filter if outside, use macro of course, and zoom in until the dial takes up the view finder. Don't even check to see if it is in focus, I just use the remote to take the picture. Sometimes due to glare I will move the watch around a bit. If I am really smart, I will hang a blanket behind me so that the cyclops does not pick up reflections. If I want to shoot, lets say, just the pearl or such, I move the camera back exactly ten inches and zoom in until the object takes up the view finder. Works for me.
