I've got some questions about my last pic how I made it>>>>

This is the pic.



So was that nothing fancy. I had picked up things but recreated the setup again to show how it looks when I made the pic.



I hope some of you get inspired.

Any particular settings on the lens for this shot? F-stop, ISO, aperture speed, etc? Or did you just focus on the area you wanted to shoot, and let it fly?

It's really an inspired picture and something that I'm thing about trying to recreate. Well done!!!

Thanks for sharing, Jocke. For some reason I thought it would be really easy to combine to hobbies of mine- watches and photography. It took about one attempt for me to realize that capturing watches the way so many on this forum have is way more difficult than I ever imagined.

Thanks for sharing the set-up for the photo. :)
