Love it! Really nice..... and I mean it before we start down that path...
One of my favourite timepieces is a Seiko diver I got of fleabay for £84. Dropped it off the bracelet and put on a nylon strap... love it...

Love the colourful reflections. Really nice capture.

Thanks.
Seiko do some great divers. I keep meaning to add an SKX007 to my ever increasing collection at some point.

Yep. I got the SKX007. £84 on eBay... love it... bulletproof... lovely piece. Worth picking one up.
Personally I'd rather spend £84 on camera equipment. I haven't used a watch since I started carrying a mobile phone.
Yeah I bought it before I got my camera addiction... Now I scour ebay for obscure lenses... lost cause mate.
I'll get one at some point. I've been spending my money on Swiss autos and Chinese manuals lately.
You can't beat a nice watch and it's still more convenient than a mobile phone. Plus it's man jewellery.
You think you're a lost cause - I do both! Obscure lenses and obscure watches. Unfortunately I don't really have an income to do either
It must have been a couple of weeks since I posted a watch picture so here's one I took yesterday of my beloved Mako.
This one looks very nice MacRy and it displays both time and date.
for the timepiece fans
tag heuer aquaracer calibre s by needfx, on Flickr
6d, 100mm macro, 1/4, f/29, iso 400, 3x ex rt at full power, shot in raw, cropped at the border of the ellipse, peripheral dof is actually a gaussian blur in photoshop, lots of spot heal brush everywhere and still it lacks
product pictures need lots of patience and minute detailing to take care of, including having a clean product (no dust, blemishes, fingerprints etc) lighting/shadowing detailing and so on and so forth
this is a over worn watch, so I had to hide all the nasty details around the main body, a few are visible.
also, couldn;t be bothered to change the time in order to reveal the writing. after the 25th, Tag will reopen from vacation to which I will take the watch for cleaning & inspection. Will re-shoot it then.

Lol. If only I paid more attention to it eh?!
Nice shot fella. I'm getting a warm fuzzy feeling from all of the horological love around here lately
Nice Aquaracer by the way.

thanks, but Kenoh's pic of that IWC is spectacular and nothing in comparison to my overstated pic. the background is interesting, dof pulls your attention to the logo, picture tint is very nice & warm.
in my mind, I was attempting a product photograph, but it feels meeeh
the IWC is also a nicer watch

Okay, I think I put this in a competition here a few months back, but here is a picture of the only watch I own for all you watch lovers.

I think we can all agree on his Portuguese being a nicer watch than all of ours

and a kidney poorer (ahem Meister)
on a side note, does anyone use a canon x2 III extender?
I have the Nikon version. It does soften the image a bit, but it's a cheaper way of getting more reach. I'd imagine the Cannon is the same. Of course mine also takes a f2.8 70-200 mm to a f5.6 140-400 mm.
I was considering it for macro/flash work
any chance you have a macro there and a flash or two to test it out?
I'll check if it's compatible with my 60 mm Macro (they don't work with all Nikon lenses, not sure about the Cannon). Be tomorrow now though.
no problem of course, thanks for considering it to test it out.
don't forget to close stop that puppy down to f/22 or lower
(I hope I got the directionality of the stop up/down correct)
Oh like I'd know! It was my granddads. Some cheap thing probably. Says Rolex on the case. Are they a good make?
Nah. Cheap Chinese rubbish. Send it my way and I'll dispose of it for you.
Let's have a pic of it then.
