    Those lume shots area really cool! Any tips on how you took them?

    I gotta try myself!

    Sure, it all depends on the amount of light you have in your room. So in this case the weather was overcast, which is ideal, and the ISO was low (200), but shutter speed was also low (0,4 sec). Now the trick is to get as much 'lume' light in to the sensor as possible, without getting the surrounding light on the sensor. There comes the UV lamp (busted :p)
    Oh yeah, the tripod is a must

    “Anyway, you know everything there is to know about this model, so let the pics do the talking.”

    The pics aren’t saying “this is a great watch”, they’re saying “you are a phenomenally good photographer”.

    These, and the Speedy ones, are some of the most artistically satisfying photos I have seen in ages. Thanks for sharing them with us.

    I hope you get the chance to do some of the Globemaster one day.

    Thank you Sir, appreciate the comment. I'm really not a photographer, I actually started taking watch photos because it's a good therapy and keeps your mind free from daily routine and problems.
    Really glad that you enjoying the photos, that keeps me pushing it even further :)
    And as for the Globemaster, I would really like that. Know anyone with rose gold Annual Calendar that can lend me for a couple of months? :p


    Tnx man! :)

    Posted in the WRUW thread last weekend. Today’s weather isn’t conducive to another photo shoot . 6E9CE9BA-BB77-4158-8E2A-D8FBA09F95B5.jpeg
