Good start, Richard!
In some ways macro photography is like golf: harder than it looks, with lots of technique needed, frustrating at times. And when you "hit" a good shot, it feels great but sometimes you can't recall what you did to make it work!
Keep after it -- you're off to a good start.
Best,
Gary
Macro Monday?
Have been waiting for someone to start off, but as it's already Tuesday in Asia I thought I'd get on with it! Best, Gary G...
Now we're off and running
Great detail shot! For whatever reason, lately I'm finding that my "macro" shots include more of the watch -- but your lovely photo is a reminder to me that I need to zoom in! Best, Gary
Lovely!
I love the coppery look of these vintage Omega movements, and you've done a great job of using depth of field to draw our attention to the near-in details. Thanks for posting! Best, Gary
That's a great shot, My friend !.. All crystal clear and typical Art noveau !.. :)
.. Especially like the straight lines of the dial & the subsecond, also the light brown (??) "frame" is so nice. - And the "pin-pointing" by the lovely blued hands, having a light & a dark side, espec the minute hand ( is that real or just the exposure/ l...
Superb Gary!
Lovely macro! I just started practicing macro shots last night and here's one I like. Not that great yet but learning to cope with the lightning. Thanks for starting this thead! Cheers Robin ...
Thanks for joining in!
Chronographs -- especially beautifully made ones like your Minerva -- make for fantastic macro photography, don't they? Keep working at your technique -- you are correct to think that lighting is the most important thing, as once you have that everything ...
Better late than never indeed!
Thanks for this shot -- love the variety of finishing techniques in evidence on the various plates and bridges. Best, Gary
Me !
I think the same as you ! The FP movement. Looks like 2 eyes cupped by hands. At least I am not alone thinking like that. Haha.
Newbie to macro shots
It's so much harder than it look, as I've discovered. Lighting, reflection, struggling with these and it seems that there is that one shot that will work. Anyway, trying this out as a beginner and novice. ...
Good start, Richard!

Not handy at macro imagery either, Richard . . .
. . . cropping is the only tool at my disposal. Got rid of my SLR and macro lens after realizing my limitations as a photographer. Art ...
Good to have you in the game, Art!
Lens, schmens -- always neat to see details of our watches, especially intriguing ones like this Chronometer. Best, Gary
As long as it works :-)
That's a really good picture, and if you did not mention the methods used, I would not have guessed. I'm not with the SLR's as well, just using what the marketing people call a serious compact - which I believe is a term coined just to make people like me...
Just my two humble shots.. Not spectacular.. But from a nice tic-tac ! .:)
No surprise.. But from a nice tic-tac SR Sub.. through iPhone's micro-lens Just my little 2-cent chip-in.. Best, hs ...
Nicely done, Tim!
The work on those rotors was top-rate and perhaps the best-finished aspect of the Piccadilly line, in my view. Thanks for sharing! Best, Gary
Great isolation of that seconds hand!
It took me a few seconds to figure out the orientation of the watch -- very interesting shot indeed! Best, Gary
Fantastic macro, Gary...
I really need to go get me a macro set-up... Canon 5D III and a 100mm... But, man, I can get a Tudor Montecarlo re-issue with that setup... Hahaha!!! Seriously, I have been thinking about getting a macro lens for the longest time. Love that movement. A bi...
Would love to see some macro shots from you, Echi!
That said, I understand that the temptation to buy a watch instead is quite strong :) I will stay tuned! Best, Gary
What can I say ...
U are killing is , Gary , killing us ! Getting more of the timepiece certainly makes for a better composition. Shooting macro for the sake of ... Not always the best. Gives more context , IMO. See that you are evolving with your shot selection. And what a...
Great input!
I'm really pleased that you are enjoying my images and flattered at the praise, for sure! I will continue to experiment with different framings and lighting ideas, and always welcome your input on all of my efforts. Best, Gary
T30
Nice macro shot of T30. One of masterpiece from FP Journe, IMHO ;-) Regards, Ronald
