Finally using my DSLR to shoot my Omegas

Jones in LA

Very nice shots!

I imagine one of the most difficult aspects of taking photos like these is getting the camera on a stable platform so that you only have to worry about the subject moving around, and not both the camera and the subject. I've thought about getting some watch shots with a 100mm macro lens that I own, but first I have to figure out how to get the camera fixed in place. I suppose I'll try using a tripod first.

That's what I don't like of the DSOM...they collect dust particles between the bezel and the crystal.😎

I know the dust particles are there........but why not retouch them out.? For me its a good shot.......half done....fire up photoshop and finish the job 😀

Hi Max..........I might be missing some of your humour here...but I have spent most of my working life as an art director working with top photographers trying to wring out the best images for my clients from still life to motor cars. Almost no shot appears in magazines in adds or brochures without some level of retouching or post processing....it used to take hours and be very expensive back in the days of 10 x 8 or 5 x 4 film . These days with digital images and programmes like Photoshop its a comparative doddle. Even "lighter" programs like Photoshop elements are superb for this type of work.
You can see as someone who has spent a lifetime saying "take that shadow out" ......."clean up those specs"........."get rid of the dust"
It's just a natural thing for me to comment on.
