JoeyB Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Very beautiful. That "mystery" DateJust is the Sammy Davis Jr. one, and has stuck in my mind since seeing it. So I'm building one as we speak. I have the onyx day-Date, but that DateJust is so nice. I thank GOD that my old eyes can't read Daytonas any longer. Saves me all that money. So, how much for me to fly you to Chicago, round trip, meals, hotel, to take pics of my stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would expect an answer such as that from Nanuq. You been hanging around with him too long! Everyone does such great work here, and can take pics to show and inspire us all. It's really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 In my opinion, virtually anyone can take great (watch) pics. There are 3 simple keys - read your camera's manual (pay particular attention to the macro section, which is key to getting details of watches), learn how to position the subject to reduce glare on crystals & practice, practice, practice. The vast majority of my pics were taken, handheld, with a 10+ year-old point & shoot (in manual or AV mode) My editing is generally limited to cropping/scaling the pic to a reasonable size & minor sharpening to bring out details. Remember, too, that for every brilliant pic you see, the photographer probably had to take dozens to get that 1 good shot. Beyond that, a little creativity helps to produce compelling compositions.
