Always trying to better pics as with running a blog, the more clear and detailed the better.

If you are really wanting to do it, I’m sure you can. A DSLR or mirrorless camera can be intimidating but practice, advice from pros and YouTube vids help a lot.

Look really good!
One comment if you don't mind, IMO, the 2nd from the end could have used a bit more depth of field so you can see all the markers clearly. Those macros will surprise you with how shallow things get up close

Was going more for the second hand and not the markers. This one was to show the markers. But I get what you are saying.jeckyll wrote:Look really good!

Up close shots are cool but I bought the macro because it is a better lens than the other two I have and even non close up shots have better detail and definition. A commercial photographer told me he basically shoots all watches now with the macro lens.

Just a canon 35mm macro lens. (I stated 60mm before but I forgot I bypassed that because I want to get the 100mm macro lens down the road. )dinexus wrote:Holy shit dude, looks awesome. Tell us more about this lens!
Lighting and adjusting camera of course help as well. Photography is a learning process for sure. Always room for improvement.

Re: New lens, better pics
Nice shots. I have the 100mm L series Macro lens and it's great. (on a Canon 6D) One day I'd really like to learn how to use it well though. For now I mostly just use some standard settings and take a bunch of pictures until I find one that I like. I'm sure Photoshop would also help, but I don't use it. I use the free software GIMP for some adjustments.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 5:14 amJust a canon 35mm macro lens.

Cool pictures. Are you using a tripod and light set up?

Nice set up Don! I wish I had the room for a semi permanent set up like that.
I have the 60mm macro from Canon and its nice. I also picked up a 24mm wide angle lens that will work as a macro for watch shots pretty well.

Great pictures.
I see I have a lot to learn about good set-ups.

Yeah, I used to use lights like that with a light box.mattcantwin wrote:Great pictures.

But the more I research and the more I spend the better it gets. It’s still not where I want it to be but it’s good for now.
Filtering the light is a big key though, that’s why I got the new lights with the umbrellas. And I’m still learning about ISO, aperture and exposure.
