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.
Hey John!
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...
