bro, no post-processing for all the shots

Third shot was with flourescent ambient lighting, no flash, and adjusted exposure. Took me quite a few tries to get the adjustments right though

Pro ish pro...nothing else to say

Anyway...great pics

No sophisticated equipment paiseh, I also noob when it comes to photography. Just my wife's 12MP ixus titanium, a mini tripod, 2 big CD pouches to form the "lightbox" to control ambient light. Light source is one of those big anti-flicker table lamps. I used the camera's "manual" mode, but I controlled mainly the exposure (ISO was auto - I tried various settings but couldn't beat the auto mode ). Yon can see from the photos that some are warmer more vibrant while some are cooler, because I used 2 sets... -2 and -1.x (negative because of the black background, correct? ) I think...

What gear do you use? Thinking of buying some acrylic from bras basah as base to get those professional looking "reflection" hehehe...

Oh and 1x casio watch stand, those that come standard with g-shocks.

hhahaah.. I don't know about you but you are one of the few I now know who don't do post processing..

I refuse to pick up the know how cos I feel it takes away the beauty of the photography skill... call me an idiot but I take pride in being able to take un-edited photos (trying to feel like I have the real photography skill lah..kkekeke)... I know ppl who can do wonderful effects with all the s/w available in the market. However, I persist in not taking that route only bcos I feel that photography is a skill, it should not be 'wasted' by the digital age... Sounds very backward eh?? Those who do use S/W for post processing, pls don't take offence.. its just a personal point of view hor..

Well taken.. I believe that 1 photo made it all worthwhile..

Keep those photos coming..

support u bro.

Hmm.. using a Ixus can get this kind of quality shot without post processing.. bro.. you have to have photography knowledge lah bro.. some more can know how to create lightbox to get a balance exposure... to you lah bro... I suspected something was amiss.. the lighting very good but surprisingly the second needle is not that sharp.. so I couldn't quite figure... now I know why...

If with an Ixus you can produce such a quality shot, take some with your SLR lah.. I am certain you have right? Or a pro-sumer camera.. kekekek.. looking forward to see more photos bro..

partly i think is due to the 12MP camera. if use a 8MP camera, would it have a different effect?

confirm got photography knowledge through trial and error in the past to get such shots.

below is a shot taken using 400D with 2 flashes.

[jazz_samz]

me using 350D, 400D is my friend's one.

no worries. cause i only got standard lenses. i borrow lenses from my friend to take pictures. in case u miss out the finger print marks..

so how can it be those advertise? me not prosumer lah. me still novice/beginner nia.

yo triton, just a suggestion (reference to the pic u posted), try taking without the 2x flashes. Use ambient white fluorescent lighting and play with the exposure (not shutter speed). Oh and change the focus setting to non-auto, non-point focus. If you are already on macro, I think you should be able to capture the entire casing in sharp focus, instead of the focus being on the crown (unless of course that's the intent lah hehehe). Oh and maintain probably 3-4 inch between lens and the watch... Sorry if I'm suggesting stuff that you already know
