Dan22 0 Posted May 12, 2011 Great thread and info from everyone. I can't wait to break out the DSLR and take some pics myself. One thing though, where can I find this .. WOW. I doubt that band is stock. The band does make the watch pop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted September 17, 2011 Nice try - you need to do something about the colour temperature of your lighting though as those photos have come out very orange (due, no doubt, to tungsten lighting - try daylight bulbs). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikesbig 0 Posted February 5, 2012 Tip for iPhone photogs... When focusing on a watch, you can hold your finger down on a specific spot (most likely your watch's face) to best suit the aperture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
