Thanks

You may recall I’ve started with photography and my wife recently bought me a complete brand new set of photography equipment.

Next to a great camera (for my level) the Nikon D7500, she added a macro lens next to the entire set (20-140 mm Nikon, 40 mm prime Nikon, 300 mm prime Nikon, hard security case for travel and storage, tripod and pair of Nikon binoculars)

So I’ve been practicing for a while with some close up or macro photos (as you know) and the results are slowly getting better.

Two things I learned very quickly:

- shooting with natural light is much easier especially when light is coming thru little bit filtered i.e. thru thin gauze or net Curtains (if I’m not mistaken the French word is vitrage like in Dutch)

- polishing and cleaning the watch before shooting improves the photo many times over.

It ain’t all perfect yet. Been trying to experiment with multiple overlaying exposures to decrease the area that’s out of focus but results not yet at level to put online haha.
Same for catching the case at an angle where you can see the dome or peak inside from the side.
But that’s all work in progress for now I’m happy the pictures are improving.

Thanks
