I did some photography after a long time. Only used the 50mm F/2 lens.

My new watch. Should have cleaned before shooting, every bit of dust is visible.

Samurai the one with the ring is nice !!!

Clicking watches are tricky, I tried sometime back with the 18-55. Lots of light reflections and fingerprints and dust show up! Thinking of using a polarizer next time.. Here is one of the better ones

Samurai,

The ring one is nice. Gives a "the lord of the rings" feeling.

s0uljah,

One of the ways you could shoot these is by building a light tent. I have tried a couple (not a watch yet as I do not wear one), nothing great but am kinda happy with first time results. Still have to work on seamless backgrounds etc. Here are three pictures (Forgive the dust/scratches on the subject, a bit lazy to clone them out.

)

Come to Bangalore. The dust settles as you have progressed wiping the front of the car to the back

Anirudh, next time try with a higher F-stop, the entire watch face is not in focus.

Well, it better give that feeling. That hand belongs to Frodo Baggins.

I shot it off the computer monitor.
