You will be very surprised with what I’m about to reveal...

As I’m very very new at this, I do not have any special or specialised macro photography equipment.

Yes, it’s very tough to get good shots... notwithstanding steady hands as I do not have a tripod too 😂

1. A fairly good light source, either soft or intense. I’m using my daughter’s desk/study lamp ~40watts for soft overtones lighting.

2. As, I do not have a macro lens for the camera, I’m just using my old iPhone 5 but coupled with a loupe! 🤣

3. Getting the light angled just right, and getting the distance between phone, loupe and object will be tricky. However, you’ll get the hang of things after several tries 😃

4. Playing with the phone camera zoom function and loupe brings some interesting photos!

The loupe I’m using...




I like the composition of this particular photo entitled “Double, double toil and trouble” in reflection to the current “bubble” of grey market (watch) pieces. Not in particular of Rolex but many other brands as well.




Enjoy your experiments and do share them with us. Have fun!

With not much things

left to do around the house, and with lots of play time, I am starting to tryout macro photography. Here are some initial shots... I do hope that you like and enjoy them. Your comments will be most welcomed. First series entitled I want to go home. ...  

I like them a lot! 👌🏻

And it's one of my favourite watches 😉

Thank you 🙏🏻

It is still one of my favourite, although rarely worn 😔

Very cool

Thanks for the shots of that dial. Those details are even more impressive up close.

Thank you 😊

I’m surprised myself as to the ‘texture’ of the dial actually. Not what I had expected seeing it at zero magnification. Nothing bad, just different...

Terrific! Keep playing! FH [nt]

A ‘young’ padwan in macro photography, but something I’m starting to enjoy 😊

I will agree with you to some extent

 
 By: KamalRostov : November 14th, 2019-03:40
However, I take it as is... Nothing man made will ever be perfect. Variations in the tiniest of scale is inescapable. To me, it adds to the character of the said piece. Of course, very poor quality or bad finishing, i.e. scratches across the quarter plate... 

Wow

Great pictures. I’ve only just very recently started experimenting with macro and it ain’t easy. Ain’t easy at all I must say. May I ask what type of equipment you use (and in the event the answer is: “o just my iPhone” then please tell howww

You are very kind with your words Jurry. Thank you 🙏🏻

Also new to macro

I’m also new to macro and it’s fascinating if a picture works out. See below some of my first attempts ...  

Not bad at all! [nt]

Thank you

Much appreciated

You're getting there Jurry! Great start too 😃

 
 By: KamalRostov : November 14th, 2019-07:26
I find the most difficult is to spot focus and capture the area/part that I’m interested in.

Fantastic shots!

 
 By: Watcholic_id : November 12th, 2019-04:56
thanks for sharing them cheers

First of all, I'm a huge fan of the 5164A and aspire to own one someday...

I'm no expert - or even advanced for that matter - in the realm of photography but I'd love to see some macro shots of the Travel Time dial with the usage of indirect daylight versus what I'm assuming was incandescent light under dark conditions? Anyway, ...
