... hope you had a nice trip back from Geneva! stefan

A 3 days trip in Geneva is a somewhat psychedelic moment, with a lot of fun, friendship, and excellent time, detached from Reality. Best, Nicolas

The year of Dragon ... 1) Regular pic 2) BW Version 3) Stacked focus (see at the end) test 4) BW version Quick explanation about what is a "stacked focus" picture. Stacked focus is a process where we take many pictures, each one with a separate focus poin...

Damjan, First of all, thank you for your compliments. I use a Canon 5D MK II and, in those pics, I use a Canon 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens (my favorite). For post processing I use Apple Aperture running on a MacBook Pro (quad core, 8Gb). Cheers, Nilo Note: A... 

Sharp pics of a sharp watch! So this is the "trick" to make deep focus... I have so much to learn..! HAGWE Blomman

There are other ways to increase the DOF (Deep Of Field). One is to shoot with a small aperture (f/32 or so). Jocke is a master of this method. The stacking focus, on other hand, allows a precise control of what is in focus but requires that the object to... 

Thank you for the wonderful pictures

Stay tuned... Surprises ahead ... not JLC but very rare stuff. Cheers, Nilo

... and thanks for the great photos as usual. Always interesting theme, nicely captured and sharing some photographic knowledge can only make all of us better. Appreciated. Andrew

for once I like the color much better, with the intense red making the point about the year of the dragon better to me. Have a good weekend, Andreas

I agree with your comments about the B&W pics. The B&W pics (that I love, in general) looks, after the resize to post, a little bit "washed" and, for sure, a "dragon" requires strong reg. In any case, I need to perfect the resize step before uploa...

... your pics remind me it is time to take mine out and wear it tomorrow. stefan

On the Chinese New Year! HAGWE Blomman...  

The problem is that you have so many JLC's I can't tell whether this is a new one. I have kind of lost track. Best regards, George

No, not that many. This is an old one, long before I joined the PuristS… But if it would help you I can send you a list! Best Blomman

Second one! Bravo, this one is gorgeous! Best, Nicolas

Hey Nicolas, Are you getting old?! This one you have seen before – an also in the metal! As for second… Best Blomman...

Taken at the St. Kilda Marina, Melbourne. Just a short stroll from the Stokehouse and Donovan's; lunch followed by photography. Polarizing filter, but no post processing. DLux4. The problem is that I look at the photo and wonder what it would be like thro...

thanks Oliver and thanks for your offer of assistance even though i didnt need it. it was worth the effort contacting the seller. best G

But still a nice copy. I am starting to see the charm in this, and you can really wear it with the dial 'upside down'. Appropriate I guess. Nice addition to the ding ding watches. A
