Stunning example!

Some feel the "transitionals" are the best of both worlds.

Mine, 7.3 mil.

Thank you very much to all members for appreciating my pics

I use a Canon 40D with a 50 mm macro lens

for the lighting I use a little photo studio like this one with two "natural light" spots


the background of the watch is simply a black tinted plexiglass

Simple set up, but great results! That´s the work of a fine photographer and a skilled use of light!
Thanks for sharing your "secrets of trade"!
