What do you guys think? Too dark?

A tad dark around the dial, yes, and yet there are harsh/blown reflections around the case and bracelet. So tough to get it just right... I don't yet have what I'd consider a suitable macro lightbox either. I've experimented with all sorts of contraptions, and still haven't come close to the diffuse yet well lit shots TTK produces. I'm going to try to locate some Acrylite DF locally (link) and see how that goes. My light source itself is also highly questionable. Perhaps I ought to just stop tinkering and go with something like this kit: link. I'm not a macro photographer, and now I know why. :) It brings a real appreciation to the hobby though.

Source, as in single source?

Currently using two 250W halogen work lights positioned on either side. Shooting a gray card and doing a custom white balance. I'm not getting enough diffusion with things like tupperware, tissue paper, bed sheets, etc - still getting blown areas which you never see in TTK's shots. I think it's a combination of the diffusion material and the light source(s). I'm thinking that lower powered light, better diffusion and longer shutter times might help. But, still, any polished/mirror SS finish is awfully tough. Hell even matte finishes are no walk in the park. :)

Well to be honest Randy I was just stunned to see that there is in fact an end to that marble bench :bleh:

Ken :D

Hahahaha!!! Yea.... I, too, thought it was an endless granite counter of some sort. ;)
