A Matter of Perspective

Just thought it was interesting how different my CK appears on my wrist depending on how close the camera is. Looks downright small from a couple feet away.

Near


Far

Is that your right arm? With the crown on the wrist side?

Yes very true sometimes I'll take a shot from further away and then crop it to combat this.

I know, right?

I mean, I get that the watch will appear bigger the closer the lens is to the watch, but when I saw my reflection it honestly caught me off guard.

Maybe I have a funhouse mirror in my bathroom.

I always view a watch in a full length mirror to see if it's a fit for me. I can say however that's cK looks great in both pictures. It doesn't look small, it looks perfect!
