Watch photography

Some watch photography....

The D-Lux 109 on Macro mode...

Cropped...

Have to say that a well made watch helps....

Some photographs..

Still learning to use the camera. There is (at the moment) no dedicated lens with Macro function for the camera. So, I am learning to use Macro lens with adapters on the T. Here are some photographs from the camera....

Some early experiments...

Using close up lens..

As I progress..

Using Macro lens with adapters instead of close up lens..

And a few more...

Distractions...

So what have been the distractions for the past few months? 

Lots to learn....

Photography Experiment part 2...

Same setup but with the addition of the Fuji MCEX-11 Macro Extension tube on the 60mm. Working distance is closer....

The result...

Still a tad dark.

Closer view...

Photography experiment...

I am trying out some macro photography with my Fuji X-E2 and the Fuji 60mm lens. I am trying to hand shoot with the following settings: 

ISO100 (the lowest I can get on the Fuji)

Flash (build in and finger held to bounce)

Aperture set at f2.8

Shutter speed at auto

The results...

A tad dark me thinks...

Close up. From my understanding the 60mm is not a true macro lens, but I think the results is not bad. 

Overall, I am impressed....

OT... Photography

I have decided that I will go seriously into photography. After accumulating the gear that I have, I think I should. And about time I guess. I have always wanted to go into photography. Hope this does not not disrupt my interest in horology but compliments it. Well, we will have to see..... 

A bit more Tudor love...

Just to be fair, after the Panda post...

Tudor Chrono Time reference 79280P.

Got to love the glossy dial with the matte registers....

Panda...

Everyone I know loves Pandas. Who would not... Just look at the photograph below...

Photograph: shamelessly borrowed from the Internet

I too like Panda as can be seen below....

Lovely... Just lovely.

Tudor Chrono Time reference 79260P.

Now I know why people love Pandas.... :)
