Or at least not many who post here in the gallery. :? It just seems like that sometimes I suppose. :roll: Ok. Here's an older pic of an older camera... :wink: :)
Best,
Ron

I'm guessing most of use our trusty cell phones to capture daily shots, not many other members take the time to take such beautiful shots! No offense guys, but this guy always has the best pics! Thanks again for sharing!

I've taken many pictures of my watches, but none of them compare to your work.

Share some pointers, then I'll happily post pics!

I believe people do post pics of their watches, but it may be that most want to discuss rather than just post a picture on its own.

I would post pics of watches, but I just don't have the time to do it.

I appreciate your efforts though. :)

Yes, share pointers. I'm incapable of taking a photo without crystal glare.

well, as Jeram says, most of the pic action is on facebook and Instagram today - as you know I've been posting quite a lot of pictures here and sometimes still do, but even if this forum is still the most active of all, there seems to be rather little interest and feedback, so in a way it has become an act of solidarity and respect for this forum and the small number of members that seem to enjoy them ?

Fred, as you well know, your photos are unbelievable. I'm considering buying myself a Range Rover in the vain attempt to match the quality of your pics. Frankly, I have US$20k of camera equipment and can't figure out how on earth you pull it off with a bloody iPhone! So please, please keep posting. Apropos of this, have you ever considered putting together a book (using Blurb or similar) of your collection? Could be a cool little project.

David; I am posting quite a lot of pics, same handle on IG - and I'll keep posting here too .you aren't the first one to suggest that book idea, but the numbers just don't add up, even Mondani is struggling w/ his books and is looking for authors who'll work free of charge or invest their own money just to make it into print, afraid I'm not vain enough for that - but there are other ideas ....


here are some recent pics from my ig feed, so Ron won't be so alone ;)

Fred - I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone ask, and you are of course free not to answer, but how many watches do you actually have? I would hazard a guess but fear I would be woefully short.
