I was bored some time ago, so I decided to take a few photos of 148.038

I don't know if the post should be in the ALS topic or the Photography topic, but I'd like to know what you guys think of the photos.... because the watch is magnificent, there is no doubt ๐
Wow they are amazing! What are you suing to take pictures if you dont mind me asking? Your macro are superb. From an subjective artistic perspective, I love your first and last picture the most.

Thanks for sharing and I hope you get bored more often!
The clarity, lighting, etc. One question, on the movement side. It looks like the 3/4 plate has anglage on the upper part, but down on the part where the mainspring barrel is, it is not present? It this because it is adjacent to the remontoire?
According to ALS, all the compnents that are not visible to the owner (under the 3/4 plate for many of their movements) are also finished to the same standard as those that are visible, so I don't think lack of owner appreciation would be the reason for it not having anglage. Who knows though...lol
Quoting from the Langepedia article on ZW Date ... "the bridges next to the remontoire bridge are neither beveled nor polished to put the emphasis on the highly brushed remontoir bridge and raw German Silver." This seems to be a signature feature of the ZWs, present in both the first-generation as well as the second-generation movements!
Great photos. The first and last are terrific ambient portraits of the watch. The macros of the movement are pure watch pornography. Great compositions.
