Some great shots here!

If anyone is interested in a couple “tricks” (from the days of film, long before photoshop) here you go:

1) get a polarizing filter. One you can rotate once installed. You can really control how an image will look- what “pops” and what you set back. Also excellent for taming glare from shiny things. Using a polarizing filter, you can look at the surface of water, or below it, just by changing the angle of the filter.

2) understand depth of field. You can make it shallow by opening up, or deep by closing down your aperture. Don’t rely on “automatic “ settings for this stuff. My old Canon EOS 1-v (film) and 1d (digital) both have a cool feature I never used for macro work, but I was shooting a line up of Land-Rovers at a show up in Canada one time for LRM magazine. I wanted all of them in focus but I was shooting across the line, so one was right in front of me, and the far one was 20-30 feet away. The Canon has a function where you focous on the closest and furthest point, compose and shoot it. It adjusts focus and aperture to keep that set depth in sharp focus. In the old days we had to do the math, take distances and bracket since we wouldn’t know what we had until the film was developed...

I thought I'd use a little bit of the lockdown to take a few snaps.

Thanks Alan, there are lots of terrific contributions in the thread. Do give it a try and share your pics, there are no points at stake. I feel it is mainly about patience more than anything else, with keeping the dust at bay and then resetting and of course tweaking with exposure and lighting angles for the best shot. I'm still discovering the nuances of settings on the trusty old DSLR.

Thank you all for the appreciation and kind comments in this Macro tryout thread. Do feel free to post your pics when you have a moment. We could all appreciate and learn from them.

Here's a few of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue Edition I took today given the impending release of its soon to be new blue dial counterpart with the leaked Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Blue.

Thanks a lot! There are heaps of terrific contributions to the thread and while the other contributors are away I'll sneak this one shot in for now.

The below shot was achieved with the addition of a couple of VIJIM LED video lights to the existing two light setup for the light box/tent for balanced lighting. I got them for their very fine colour temperature and brightness adjustability. And they're compact and light too.

I want to have pics to compare it too once it is all beat up :)
