bought a cheap light-tent today($25) wanted to try shooting watches
here's the results :)

the light-tent helps but is not the solution to the reflections :P
most of it is the angle of the glass against the angle of my lens :)

i got the brick from a construction site :)
the orchard is my mum's, i "borrowed" one flower from her vase :P
the smoke in the background is from an inscene
the watch belongs to me :)

slight crop
minor increase in levels

Hmm. I like this idea. I was fooling around with it myself not long ago. See Here.

Nice composition, good light control. Maybe a touch oversaturated? Those watches are always set at 10:10 aren't they. Best, -Hugh

Beautiful composition. it is a wonderful photo with lovely colors and class details.Well Done.TFS

Hi, just curious, why the orchids? I find the proportion a little strange, because my focus is on the flowers instead of on the watch. Just my 2 cents input.

hi, this is your usual good standard lenswork skill.perfect.

i will touch on the image appeal,the props arrangement have over shadowed the silver watch to my taste:) since this is your watch, i propose the ideal of using one of your camera, bag, even your hat as the prop display,kind of like tag huer ad. where racing helmet with watch ,endorsement from racer, so this is great watch from great photographer, endorsement from u:)

Nice idea. The contrast with the white stoen is well done.
Best wishes

Ah... is this an ad, Koh?

Look very much like one... excellent sharpness and details, great textured too, don't look cheap... but look expensive thou...:D well done, thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety

The shot is very good but the compo is too busy, IMHO. I'm distracted from the subject.

Looks nice BK. You made a nice compo with all the objects. I like the colors. As usual, focus is top notch:)

Hi Koh,
You have nicely set for the composition. I love the result. The smoke really is a bonus :):) Well done, just I think it is a bit lack of contrast.

Hello BK,
nice advertising shot, I like the arrangement and using flowers to contrast the cold metal of the watch works very well.
Wonderful details, colors and great sharpness.

Hi BK,

Reading his text, and sells as creativity is wonderful.
Like you plays with the elements turn in a lightness and harmony. as the very mounted pieces leave pleasant effects.
I adored his imagination and creativity here.
Beautiful visual!
