OK, let's increase the degree of difficult by adding a second watch . . . how about another black Chronomatic Autavia.

I have added a hood to the lens, switched to manual settings on the camera (1/60th second; f/20) . . . still at full power on the Speedlights. Still just experimenting . . . thus, the watches are not at "happy time" and there are the specks of dust.

Favorite element: This photo really captures the "milky" bezel on the watch on the left; we often see this on the 2446C and very early 1163s, but it's not easy to capture in photos.

For reference, here below are the photos from Sunday night's shoot.

Having good fun with this . . . will lower the flash power tonight, and try some different backgrounds. And maybe I should also switch the red T-shirt to a medium gray?

Thanks for the advice and encouragement!!

Jeff
