Peter you've lost the news
The obsession continues
From time to time I've posted photos of watches. I used to think I had a bit of a watch obsession. Now I KNOW I have!
There have been several "wallet accidents" over the last year involving watches. Here are two of them. In fact they are the first (on the left) and last watches bought in 2015. If I ignore the one that is due to arrive in the post in the next few days.
I've gone from being an accuracy freak who would only buy radio controlled, solar powered watches to the polar opposite. Mechanical watches. Nowhere near quartz/RC accuracy but way, way more interesting to me.
And a bonus to the "watch problem" is that my camera has surfaced again after many months of collecting dust. Watches are things of such beauty that I just had to try to do them justice photographically.
So here we have my Seiko SKX009 on the left and it's more expensive cousin, the SBDC005. The SBDC has also finally satisfied a longing I've had for years to own an orange watch :-)
Strobist.com - 2 x Elinchrom D Lite 4 it. One with softbox above subject, the other with a plain reflector covered with a blue gel, bounced off white wall to the right. Small black flag used to kill reflections in dial of LH watch. Triggered with a Skyport Eco. Metered with Sekonic L-308 S
