URkuk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I don't have much a camera ( Fuji Finepix A205 eBay 25 buck camera) and I am not a photographer I took these today of my new watch the photos are not bad but something is missing? Better background? Shadows? less light? I took them on a window sill with natural light camera on a mini tripod on a timer no flash Any help would be appreciated...I am trying to learn how to do this properly Thanks Bill BR BR BR BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 They're nice pics. Not much is missing. Daylight is always a good choice. If you have a Photoshop you might want to try what clicking "autolevels" does. It might improve them. Keep 'em coming... practice makes perfect!

Toadtorrent Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 You definitely understand the basics of making sure the glare is at a minimum which is the key. You have nice clear pictures...and the autolevels works a fair bit. You could also try autocontrast...and play with sharpening the image...overall...not bad at all!!

wheaton26 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 bill, you are off to a great start! if you really want to have some fun ... get yourself a portable lighting studio. they can be purchased for around $50 and are well worth the money. especially if you plan on shooting more watches etc. i am a total amature when it comes to photography, but with this little box ... i was able to capture this ... i am still amazed. thanks for the post and we look forward to seeing more pictures and watches soon!
