Icon4 Sea-Dweller Deepsea wall paper

In my search for pictures of the Deapsea I always came up short, I asked about which one to pick between the GMT-IIc and the Deapsea a couple of weeks ago... Where I picked the ... Deapsea

Enjoy



Who ever said the JLC Reverso was a small watch needs to pick one up and try it on...

Thank you and no I don't mind at all this is why I made those images 1400 pixels wide and a few more images to chose from.

I thought the community could use a few more DSSD pictures since when I was debating between the Deapsea and GMT-IIc all I could find in the better and larger images department were pictures of the GMT-IIc ...

Thank you ... The MacBook Pro is simply because I was too lazy to set up a proper background for the watch so ... I was in the living room, with my Laptop on the coffee table, grabbed the camera and voila

Thank you, I think the side by side shot with the JLC is actually way more eye opening...

The cameras did not take the pictures, for the series of the DeepSea I used a Nikon D3 and a Nikon D700, with a combination of lenses, the Nikkor 24-70/2.8, Nikkor 200/4 Macro and the Zeiss 100/2 Macro Planar

The trick to good sharp watch photography is using the best possible light, in some of the images in this series I used up to 3 remote flashes, SB-800 and SB-900 however some of the best images I only used on flash bounced at an angle from a white ceiling or wall.

Always used manual setting so I can get a faster shutter speed than the usual Nikon 1/60 of a second flash sinc ...

And ... most of these shots were hand held.

Thank you, that's why I made them so big, when I was looking for info and images on the Deepsea ... I couldn't find any high resolution images hence the 1400 pixel width Glad you are using the images as wallpaper it is kinda, sorta what I intended for these images
