hi tonyfromfrance,

what do you want to improve? in my opinion is it an excellent shot.
perhaps you have another result if you try it only with daylight or with hqi-light.

professional :gut:

very good pic :gut:

[tonyfromfrance]

it is to learn more about the techniques of each, if we can improve with a few advices: lighting used .....
The aim was not to show the result (error on my part)

and always sorry for my bad english :ka: .

Tony, your pictures are always first class - thank you for sharing your technique :gut:

[OrangeHand]

Merci beaucoup 4 sharing. :D :verneig:

I also had a look at your other pictures on the french site "Forum à montres". I love them! Please continue posting here too. :verneig:

[tonyfromfrance]

what is interesting in this context is that we can "manage" the light .. unlike the photos outside.

by against it must still improve on the lamps: their number, power .. with the use of reflectors......... maybe

a friend on our french forum said:
the amateur looks the material, professional earnings (? money), the teacher looks at the light :]

Thank you Tony - just as Joe said, your pictures are always first class :dr:

This is what I used for my pictures:

It´s a simple Sony DSC-W55 point-and-shoot camera, a laundry box, a piece of cloth and some random lamps - nothing fancy.

And these are the results:

Never tried with the DSLR because I don´t have a macro lens for it ;)

[NicoH]

Well yeah, you can always go "more expensive"...

Your pictures really raised the bar on this forum here, though. They´re not just "good enough", they´re top notch :dr:

I actually wrote an eBook with all the essential information anyone needs to take better watch photos - here's the link (http://www.jbhenterprises.net/ebooks/mpbook/mpbook.html).

I've been using the same basic set up for several years which I made:

Current camera is Canon 40D, and I usually shoot with a 100mm Macro, or sometimes my 17-40L. I think it gets decent results. :D
