Hi John nice shot! Which cam are you using? And what lens and lighting set up? I wanted to get an opaque white plexiglass or something to do a slight reflection like yours but do not know which one to get. :grb: In the end, I might use Photoshop instead! :D
LOL! I did indeed use Photoshop (props to to Hannes here who does this all the time in his photos to make a reflection).Zitat:

Here's a photo of my office area where you can see my home made lighting set up comprised of a translucent storage bin with velum paper tapped to the interior, and a series of lights surrounding the perimeter.

I shoot with the Canon 40D currently, and most of my watch shots are taken with the 100mm macro prime.
Wow, that looks quite serious already! Here is my humble setup:

Just a simple laundry box ;)

Here is my set up! Gee I do not even call that a set up! LOL!!! I just use a floor standing lamp(cos too lazy to set up those extra spot lights....etc =() and a black velvet cloth. I prefer black to white background. I do have a white SATIN for white background but I seldom use.

Whatever gets the job done guys! :D :gut:
Hey Guys,
always thought that it´s quite tough getting a good quality pic.
Now I know you just need good ideas for the setting an lightning.
Thx from good old Germany. :gut:
The eBook I have coming out in just a couple of weeks about macro watch photography really goes into detail about setting up lighting, using photo editing software....everything you need to start taking good watch photos. :gut:Zitat:

Oh nice, i hope you give us a sign when time has come and your "ebook" is issued.
By the way: Congrats to this photo (and the others you have given to us as well) and to your website. I enjoy reading your detailed reports and reviews!
As i am a photographer (but new to watch photos) as well, i would like to ask you, if you ever tried to use a "shift/tilt" lens by taking watch photos? A lot of different opportunities become possible... Do you prefer "low key" or "high key" lightning?
Anyway, i send you the best regards across the ocean from Germany...
Steffen
Thanks much - you're most kind.Zitat:

I've never used "shift/tilt" lenses - can you elaborate or show examples? The lighting I use is pretty low tech! :D As you can see in the above photo I use mostly daylight temp florescent bulbs, with a few halogen bulbs in the back of the box.Zitat:

Great Pic John!
Can cou do the same for a 16610 LV?
I begin to understand why the pics of you guys look the way they look :gut: :gut: :gut:
.. and why my pictures look the way they look ;( ;( ;(
Great stuff you use there.
My gear only consists of a digicam, no tripoid, but lots of confidence that everything will turn out well somehow. Steaaady, steaaady, .... ;)

Shift and tilt lenses are using for almost every photoshooting which is done by the manufacturer. They use it for the pics for advertisment, their catalogues and websites etc.
Usual macro lenses have the disadvantage to have a very small sharpness area, e.g. if you want to make a shot of a watchdial with the crown in foreground, you cant match the focus on both. TS lenses will help you there...
To explain how that lenses work is a extensive content, and here are some guys who can explain much better than me:

It depends on the light mood you have chosen. Bright and clear background and bright light on watch (or whatever) means "high key". Dark background and just a little light on object, play with shadows etc. means "low key".Zitat:
Do you prefer "low key" or "high key" lightning?
So your photo in this thread is almost "high key"
Here is an example of for low key with my 16710:
