Hello All,
A new lens and some experimentation with lighting, and I have what I believe are some improved Executive images that give a better sense of the ceramic bezel:


As always, all comments, suggestions, and criticisms welcomed!
Best,
Gary G
and you can get a newer one ...do you have a newer camera in mind?
Thanks,
Gary
Amazing photos, Gary! The deep black is luscious; like the finish on a fine automobile.
Thanks for sharing these pictures!
Cheers,
Daos
Thanks for the kind words -- we've got to meet in person at some point!
I dispensed with the tent for these shots, and just aimed my lights upward to get a bounce off of the ceiling. Turned out to work pretty well, especially with the tilt/shift lens.
Geez, I'm getting to be a bit of a geek with this watch photography thing -- but then again, there are many worse ways to spend one's spare time!
All the best,
Gary
Great praise indeed, coming from you. I only wish that I had the wrist shot background that you have, looking over the rooftops of Paris. Not to mention a bit more hair on the wrist...
All the best, and happy holidays,
Gary
