freddy333 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 For those who have requested a portfolio of my watch pics, download it here (file is 15.5 megs in .wmv format) - The Luxury of Time (In case you have trouble downloading, I posted a copy on Youtube but it is next to useless because they stripped out the soundtrack) Bon Appétit.

freddy333 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is that Rickenbacker a UK issue 340? It's a beauty. Purchased in London many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 That was fun. Gratsi. I'm not trying to be facetious at all when I say I appreciate the way your brain carries out synapsis. Just curious tho', what was on the sound track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Chubbchubb & Demsey - a number of the editing/posting functions (like the multi-reply option) are missing from the Full editor, but I want to thank you both (and anyone else I may have missed) for your kind words. The music is Lena Horne - Stormy Weather, which I thought was sufficiently old that its original 1940s copyright would have lapsed by now. But, since youtube clipped the soundtrack on their copy, I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat6509 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Freddy, I have just one word for what you've done here - Exquisite. What a superb collection of watches, but equally what a pastiche of amazing artworks you've made them. The music also takes me back in time instantly and reminds me of my mum and her 78s. Loved it. Brilliant. You must smile from ear to ear each time you dip in the watch box for a new day ahead. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Very nice job Freddy. I really enjoyed watching it. I like your composition in the pictures. I assume you use photoshop? I really like the picture with the the color 4x6 on a black and white background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thank you, but I actually got it backwards. The 'film' pic in the center should have been b&w & the background color. It was part of a pair with the previous pic showing the b&w shot of the film camera 'taking the picture' of the watch. Serves me right for rushing. But I am glad it worked for you.
