Re: Watch

I like them but ..they need to be a bit crisper ....I took some watch pics the other day ..whilst mine are definitely not perfect, you can maybe see what I mean about the crispness?





I was aiming for depth of view so the foreground is supposed to be blurred

Re: Watch

I think what happened with mine is that i got a bit of camera shake going on so lost the crispness, especially seeing No. 1 was taken with one hand lol

Re: Watch

Nice shots..

Suggestion: Re take the top pic put this time move your wrist so that it is higher, so the hand part appears to go higher. Basically play with the composition of the shots by moving the subject around a bit..

Re: Watch

I like the shots and can only echo what the others have said, they need to be sharper. What aperture were you using as the focusing seems slightly off? If you are looking to get into this type of photography then you might want to consider investing in a tripod
