This is stunning. Can you please tell us how did you make this shot and what equipment / settings did you used? Tnx
Here is the equipment i use, the camera settings and how i did proceed. Equipment: - Light box - Flash (not fixed on top of camera, but aside) - Camera (indeed) - Macro lens 105mm - Tripod - Camera remote - Sponge, water and some luck Settings: - Aperture F/4.5 - Shutter speed 1/10s I squeezed the sponge on top the watch and i shot burst photography. I did many attempts until i got a satisfying result... Best Fabio
