Lumix + Rolex = Nice Pix

[donerix]

An old friend of mine who is visiting stormy San Juan del Sur brought his new Lumix DMC-GF2 and I took it for a little spin.
Sit back, relax, watch and let me know what you think:

And then I played around with Lightroom a bit:

Terrific shots, and thanks for taking the time to post them. Now, I'm off to build my first Rolex...

No Photoshop on the first ones? If not the guys a genius with a camera!

Fantastic work! I shoot Micro Four Thirds as well (Olympus E-P3). I am a huge fan of these little cameras.

I see from your exif that you are running up against the limitations of minimum focus distance on the kit zoom though. This is an issue for watch photos with these cameras. If you don't want to do so much cropping, you need some sort of macro setup. Fortunately these cameras are adaptable to all kinds of cheap lenses.

Here's a (handheld!) uncropped movement shot of my FF rep done with E-P3 and a $50 Chinese CCTV lens with macro rings.

All of those watches are awesome. I need a glit dial/hands sub.
