Cool pic, great lighting, what lens and lighting did you take it with?

[willg]

lens was the 50mm 1.8 and the lighting was done with an ordinary houselamp and a few pieces of matboard to take some reflection off the face but keep the watch lit up

Good picture of a quality time piece. Crystal clear and great contrast. I like the cropping. A Rolex gives the same info as your Seiko. What I am amazed at is the predominance of B&W photography going on. I really think this new fad of color photography will eventually catch on though.

yeah i am taking a color photo class so on my own i am doing some B and W....turned in my final work today so you might see some more color shots from me

I do like it. I think it might be better if it was possible to see some "texture" on the light side of the face. A little more light, maybe?

Maybe bounce some light into the rim of the dial?
