maurometallo Posted June 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was given the idea by this Barnack's Monthly (I have already posted it there, so I apologize for repeating myself...) and I found somehow interesting to take a picture of my watch after 20 years it has been on my wrist and never have given it any photographic thoughts...

stuny Posted June 4, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2009 Mauro - This belongs on an expensive brochure from Rolex, an auction house catalogue or Rolex's annual report. Superb for composition, detail, light, contrast, tonal range, texture, and effectiveness against a black background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdb Posted June 5, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 5, 2009 Spectacular quality image and fabulous watch as well. I love fine watches almost as much as fine cameras....and cars....and bikes....I'm a mess:rolleyes: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurometallo Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) ...No, you are not, Virgil! See, there is a common thread that strings all those things together. For instance, my late father's M3 feels to me not different than a good mechanical wristwatch; So are fine automobiles and motorcycles. ... And, just to be totally evil, have you ever tried to turn the ON knob on a Garrard record player?... Thank you for looking at my picture. I'm very glad you liked it. Say HI to Lars...
