Lume shots ... with a difference


Recommended Posts

Ok, it's not a rep, but I've always wondered if there was a way of making lume shots slightly less ... mechanical. We all know that looking at a picture of lume in no way shows what it's like in person, so if we're going to keep doing it, let's make it more interesting.

Here's my first attempts at making lume shots look more like watch photos. They're both taken at my back window with a 30-second exposure.

Comments, as always, are much appreciated. :)

I looks more representive of how the watch would look, i think you have achived what you set out too, how does it look with a bit less time exposure? just a little darker or a lot, seiko have top lume but only that bright in real life for the few mins after charging.

I'm wondering how to manage a 30s exposure without having the background too bright.

Use a dark background? :)

You're always going to have to balance the foreground and background so you should either get handy at photoshop or just practice.
