Rolex and sunset pics

Any tips on how to take great sunset pictures with a wrist shot in them?

This is the best I could manage last night

Nice sunset pic, even though your Explorer doesn't come into focus too well ;P I'm not a photographer and will leave it to the rest of the TRF'ers to answer how to get a better pic.

First thing shouldn't you focus on the wrist first? :)

I like taking them reflected into the dial.

How much do you know about photography?

You need to light the foreground and pull the focus forward but increase the f stop to get greater depth of field

Sunset or watch. Why try to get an "infinite" depth of field in diminishing light? You'd need to get a $14k 0.95f-stop lens and take it out of the box.

No sun in it, but taken around the time of sunset!
