I just wanted to say hi and welcome to the forum as well. I also have an interest for photography and actually own a Superocean as well 8)
Those are really cool pictures, but I guess you know that allready :bow:

Can I ask how you made the first three pictures? Especially how you avoided reflections from your lighting sources in the glass/mirror you used? Polarizer? Photoshop+Layers? I have been trying to get the same effect, but without any real success.

Best Regards.... fra broderlandet i syd :D

Hi Peter! Thanks for the welcome!
As to the pictures, my setup is really basic. The watch was placed on a flowerpotthingy (that is so a real word for it!) filled slightly with water to make it mirror the watch. The room was darkened and only my two bedroom lamps was set up on either side of the watch and the camera on a tripod. On the first picture I used a flashlight aswell to make the mirrorimage in the water more clear. No fancy polarisers or highteck photoshopping.
I only had an early version of Lightroom wich I increased the contrast a bit, upped the clarity a nodge and made the black blacker.
I`m really not very pro at this and I`m still learning how to use the camera and whatnot.
Heres my setup, It`s what the pro`s use :mrgreen:

And my best friend wich I can always rely on to give me an objective view on my pictures

I`m just getting started with this whole picture taking thing and learn new stuff everyday, but if there`s anything I can
help with, don`t hesitate to ask.
Nice to see a fellow Scandinavian :D

There's some classy images on your post, for sure. As they say in photography, 'less is more' but you've certainly achieved 'more' with 'less', my friend. Well done and thanks for sharing your technique................keep it simple every time.

Good weekend all
