Great photographic subjects to practice on

I'm qiuite envious Jeff that you are making a transitional leap in your photography skills. Well done.
More to the point - what fantastic models you have before you to practice your newly acquired knowledge.
I have one ponit to raise (and it comes about as i have been guilty of this one myself) - try to avoid taking photo's whilst the date is in the middle of changing over to the next number. Come to think of it, why has the date begun changing over at 23:06 ? An early Cal.11 Chronomatic movement should begin the date change over at around 23:42 shouldn't it ?
Good luck fine tuning your photo set up , we look forward to seeing your future efforts on some of those most challanging of metallic Heuer dials.
Cheers - Darren

-: 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
