Just been experimenting with the camera & my babies. One hobby complementing the other.

I'll continue trying different props & see what I can come up with.

Thanks John

I'm using a Nikon D50 with the standard kit lens (Nikkor 18-55mm) on the macro setting & a Nikon Speedlight with a white filter. May try a macro lens next.

There are so many lovely pics in the gallery using different props - sweets, bullets! etc it's fun trying to think of ways to present the toys.

I was looking at your post earlier - with the winder (superb collection) & just had a look at the B1 - nice, really set off by the stethoscope. I agree about the cape cod cloths, nice smell too!

Maybe more time next weekend.

I'm sure I'm going to look like an ignoramous here so flame away :lol: but what is your second hobby? They look like giant marbles -- I haven't got a clue what they are.

Sorry guys I guess there's 3 hobbies here really!

Hobby 1 - Photography
Hobby 2 - Drooling over my watches - then polishing said drool off again!

Not necessarily in that order.

The paperweights I pinched off my wifes' display!

Must remember to put them back next time!

Thanks for all your nice comments - now to find some more props!

@Breitling Bloke

Are you sure that your Colt's Ref. is A17035, like your signature tells?
I think it should be A17350.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I have A17035 and it's a model previous than yours.

Hi bnewbie

You could well be right - got my Monty on today so will check when I get home! I did have an A17035 & it was from about 1998-99 I think. This one's a 2002 model.

This is probably a bit of numeral dyslexia!

Well spotted!

Hi Breitling Bloke,

Often spot minor things, maybe that's why I like to compare fake and real Lings. :)

Cheers

Got the numbers right - just in the wrong order. Colt's for sale at the moment so will need to ammend again soon anyway.

Don't know what I fancy next - the Aerospace (my 1st one ever) & my new Montbrillant are the core but I'm wondering what direction to go in next.

Am on holiday soon so may visit the 2 shops or the AD in Lanzarote for a look. Anyone any experience of buying there? I know the Sterling/Euro situation isn't good at the moment but it may be worth a go.

They do really cheap ones in the Sunday market in Teguise!!! Ha ha.
