The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Apologies for the blurry (quick hand held shutter snap) shot but at least the moment is captured for posterity. I had forgotten about the occurence until just a couple of minutes beforehand and hurriedly grabbed the camera for the shot. Wish I had remembered earlier and set the shot up with the tripod but this will have to do. Once in a lifetime snap...
Best,
Ron

Nice timing on the pic Ron, but I must say I'm highly amused by the quality of it considering you NORMALLY set the standard as far as pictures go!

Isn't it 9/9/9 all day?

Yes it is, but look at the time as well. (Hours, mins and seconds).

Very cool, and kind of reassuring to see that Ron's photos can look human!

I guess next year is the watch photographer's classic - a 10:10 shot. I expect that one to be planned weeks in advance Ron

Nice shot.

You could advance your watch now to next year's 10:10 shot and take the picture now with your tripod. Then post it on here next year. Or is that not in the spirit of things?!

Don't you get another try tonight?

Hmmmm..... Well, actually, the digital was set on first time zone, not the date. You'll note that because if it was the date, that word would be in the upper digital display. Further, because most of us use 24 hour time on the digitals, there is no "second chance" to take the shot. Wouldn't be right to use 2109.09 for the shot IMHO. It had to be done at 09hr, 09m and 09 seconds and that' exactly when the shot was snapped. I will try to plan better for next year and get the shot at 101010 on the nose and it will be with a tripod!
Best,
Ron


PS. Meanwhile, here are aq couple of other B-1 shots for you taken at the proper "photo moment"...
