| I know this is an old pic, but I'm new to dpchallenge and discovered this picture while trying to 'learn'. I'm trying to recreate a similar setup to photograph jewelry and a minolta lens to sell on ebay. What type of lens did you use? What was your existing lighting (in your closet)? I have a canon digital rebel with a 50mm 1.8 lens. I'm selling my minolta slr, lens, and some jewelry so I can buy a 70-200 2.8L to photograph my son's sports. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| Thanks guys! If you look at my "how'd they do that" for this picture, you'll get the title. Basically they're saying the watch looks like it's worth $859 and you're only paying $189 for it, thus $670 saved.. :) |

| Great great shot. Awesome use of focus, and amazing detail in the face of the watch. The framing and composition, the coloring, the lighting... I don't know what to say. This is well done, and could easily be used in a catalog as-is. |

| Gotta raise your score. Just a perfectly lit macro - not easy with all that chrome, and the angle was a great choice. Very effective DOF, etc., etc. Okay, one nit - the blur on the second hand detracts in a tiny and insignificant way. |

| this is beautifully photographed, great lighting, sharp focus, and the tilted angle thing is really working. this is, hands down the best shot in this weeks submission. bravo!!! |

| Very nice detail, great angle, and nice framing. I'd be interested to see how you got such nice, soft lighting... especially where the back of the watch seems faded into the background. |
|
|
|
05/07/2002 07:13:00 PM |
| fantastic detail and depth of field. Love the blue on the buttons and the whole shot. The 'standard' view is hands at 10 to 2 though ... :) gives a more balanced view - 5 past 4 might have worked for this tilt.. |

|
05/07/2002 04:27:00 PM |
| Technically perfect shot. This is amazing. The slogan is the only detractor. |

| Everything is great about the shot. I especially like the blue knobs showing up like that. The watchmaker should hire you! After the challenge is over and you have won, please explain the title. |

Nice marco shot, I like the all white background too, it really goes well with both the challenge and with the color of the watch. Beats the heck out of my Fossil
(added), this is one of 2 tens I have given, definitely should place! |

| Excellent technical shot. Great lighting, DOF, clarity & composition. I like tha fact that the watch has some element of color to it (the little blue knobbies). 10. |

| Excellent work. I really like the use of shallow depth of field in this photo. The blurred back side of this watch band doesn't distract my attention from the face of the watch. The angle of this shot also makes it very appealing. The lighting looks great as well. This photo should score in the top of the rankings in this challenge! Good work! |

Very good clarity and good sales pitch. I'd like to have the name on the face of the watch more readable though.
By the way, nice watch. Where can I get one? |
