Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

That is why we have JJ here, so you get some lousy shots.



Thanks my friend, I do my best to get it right.

I can tell you a secret, PhotoShop.

I rotate them all but sometimes it take a month before it's time again.

Hey Jocke, I just noticed... I always thought you used was very subtle, but it must be strong enough to make the inner part of the circle on the seconds hand TRANSPARENT... if you look at the shadow it casts, it appears the LUME part of the circle is letting light through, becasue the outer (white gold?) border is casting a stronger shadow... the same thing is happening with the shadow of the hour hand, though not as noticeable....

hope that all makes sense

That is a reflection of the backside of the secondhand, it looks the same at both sides.

Ummmm - reflection? Same on both sides? Do you mean it has LUME on the back, or that the circumference is raised???

I thought it was flat on the back, with a rim and trough on top, like a frying pan, and the lume was just filled in on the top...
