I have difficulties with the light ring at times, too...
... it really requires the exact rhythm of a double tip to engage or disengage it.
Once I had the Loupe System overheated and neither the light ring or charging worked. I got very quick advice from Alberto and learned that I needed to let the battery run out totally (which took about a week when not used) and the system kind of reboots and it should work again... and it did.
Your first macros are fantastic, btw 👍🏻
Cheers

Fooling around with my new Loupe System
I just received the loupe recently and today I tried a few shots. Not as easy as I would have thought. And I still can’t get the light to work. Irritating with such an expensive product. I suppose it requires a bit of practice, as I’ve seen excellent resu...

Dear henrik - Thank you for chiming in :-)
You did warn me that it acts up a bit, so I was prepared for it ;-) The lens seems like a super qulity though. I need to practice ans one always does, with a new "camera". I suppuse the question is to get the light right as in all photography. Thanks a lo...
Macro photography can be very annoying
I’ve learned to wipe down the watch at least 3-4 times with different cloths before starting, and every time I still find more lint or oil(under the lugs, around crown) Photoshop helps remove lint too... 🙂
Yes, I guess I was surprised as I thought I had done it carefully
This afternoon, I found some canned air among my photo gear - think I might give it a try for next session. But you are obviously right, Mike. A bit of Photoshop , is probably required to get it the last way. Thanks a lot for chiming in. Hope all is well ...
Christian, you do not need any more practise!!
You have mastered the art of photography. That shot of the movement in particular is outstanding!!
You are too kind dearest friend!
Still I feel, I need to get the light and the reflections better. + that damn lint! Still its a good toy for a watch nut
Thank you so much, Mike :-)
Its a start. Good thing summer holidays are coming up. That will give me some more time to play with my new toy.
Very nice photos
And it's nice to see the scratches on your Resonance. Clearly a watch that is well worn.
Thank you so much, sPARTACUS :-)
Yes, I agree about the scratches. Watches are meant to be worn. I much prefer a bit of scratches to a over polished case. This piece is from 2005, So it has had a life already
Superb crisp macro shots my friend
It is good to be demanding with yourself but you push the ball too far, your pics are perfect. As trial pics with your Loupe System they are stunning and reveal the beauty of your superb FPJ perfectly. This Loupe is surely not cheap but unrivalled quality...
Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Mike 😊
You are a master of photography. As you have taught, the light is key to a good result, so I need to find out how to get that right without getting the reflections in the crystal. I was surprised how much specs of dust that are invisible to the naked eye ...
