@Rudra
Nice shot of the watch... How did you light it up? used anything to diffuse the light?

Rudra Sen · 2nd January 2010, 11:41

clevermax, it's very simple lighting here. One Elinchrome 500 watt/sec flash head with 65 cm Elinchrome Portalite softbox.
Cokin linear polarizer P 160 was used to cut out unwanted light on the glass. 100mm macro at f25.

Very beautifully shot Rudra Sir.The lighting is just superb.How did you manage to get perfect lighting there Sir.?

Here is a one from my side :-

* Taken using Sony Cybershot DSC W-35,a P&S Cam
* Tweaked the colors a bit in Picasa

Criticism Welcome

Close to 1am, its going towards the peak!
It was supposed to peak around 1:30, but I did not stick around.
This was good enough.,
Looking forward to a more complete lunar eclipse sometime in the future
