Best Still Shot of a Watch (No Wristie) 2024

[Snooky]

For me one of my fav pics from last year is the below. It’s not necessarily because of the rep photoed (my first ever rep which was a ZF SMP300) or that it’s a particularly artistic shot, but because of the naivety of being so new to the game when I posted it. Thinking I’ll only ever fill that single box, but in the space of a year so many watches have come and gone and there are so many more inbound and on ‘my list’… Plus it was the metal moonswatch mod thread that led me here…

@DD60 would love to see the process on that shot and how you got it (if at all possible). Shots like that aren't fluke

In a nutshell - lot's of practice using
"Splash photography" -
You'll need to use fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the water as it splashes onto/ off of your subject. Set your camera up using a steady tripod and set your camera to the continuous shooting mode. Manually focus on the point the water impacts your subject
(target area) use a remote shutter release to prevent camera shake and a low ISO with a narrow aperture lens setting for the best image quality.

Nikon Z 50.
ISO 200
Shutter speed 1/1000th
70-200mm f/2.8 lens at 200mm
Aperture f/8
Light source Controlled and natural
Speedlight flash 1/10,000th sec
A good photoshop app like Adobe Lr
to fine tune your final image
