looking for phototips pics of new watch

[URkuk]

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

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!

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!!

I read the Pugwash photo tutorial

I had not a clue before reading Pugs tips

Many thanks to Pug

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!
