Close ups of my watch

[atulsc]

Took some shots of my watch to practice close up shots, I used a note pad and a small shaving mirror bounce some sunlight. Hope you like the photos as the watch isn't all that great ; -)











Any tips to improve the shots or post processing ideas are most welcome.

I like them atulsc. I can see your reflection in the watch too. Using the sunlight was a great idea to add lighting. it is a nice looking watch. It is a good way of learning to use everyday objects to improve our photography. I have just today purchased a polarizing filter and I would think that your watch would be a great way to try it out. You may have a little too much reflected light on the face. The polarizer could maybe keep the good lighting and take away the reflected light. See, what I mean buddy. You have inspired me with your post. Nice work mate.

Thanks Jake, that's a complement.
Yes I've read about the polarizers but still working on my basics i'll be thinking of investing in new gear only next year.
