vric Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well I had to try my new lens/cam, so I gave it a shot. Not the best I can do, but will get better with time. (it is actually quite hard to get a good shot since the DOF is soooooo small..) The fun is with the Big Version (10Mpixel file.. massive) but here is a smaller shot for preview. Enjoy the misaligned lume dots and all the small flaws you don't see on your wrist Photo Info: Nikon D60 with Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro Exposure: 30 seconds at f/45 (and still not enough hahaha) Manual Focus, minimal Photoshop to crop and give a b/w effect.

mjmurphy926 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 OH MY GOD!!! Look at the horrible finish on that dial...the painted markers are all rough and jagged...In fact, all the printing is just terrible...and, there are a couple of dust particles that are as big as raisins!!! Just kidding. Nice shot of a nice watch. It's what we photo nerds call pixel peeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 This is why we say if you like admiring your watch under a magnifying lens then reps are not for you. Regardless this is actually quite decent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
