I admit I'm a little late for Halloween but the (pretty scary but visually beautiful) 2019 Lovecraftian horror movie with Nicolas Cage and Joely Richardson came to my mind while searching for a title for this photo. And it's probably the "Protection" against said "Color Out of Space".
You've seen small parts of this Casio G-Shock watch for two earlier MM themes (please see the first comment). Please don't ask me how I got this distortion effect. I wanted to get as close as possible to the "Protection" lettering (that you find on all G-Shocks) while showing all its letters, and I wanted to play with sharpness and blur. That's the obvious part. At one point I put the translucent red plastic lid behind the little scene instead of using it as a colour filter, next I rearranged the LED lamps, and the weird distortion just happened. I liked it so I took a few images. And since my first idea didn't work out as planned, I decided to stick to the "pink distortion".
The "Protection" lettering measures 1,7 cm/0,66 inches. The photo is a single shot taken with the Laowa 50mm Ultra Macro lens. Processed mainly in DXO PhotoLab 8 and LR, and I had to do some de-dusting in PS although I had carefully polished the watch before taking the photo. It's the old macro dust story ;)
HMM, Everyone!
A Casio G-Shock wristwatch, circa 2010.
I found this watch in a mug full of junk I stuck it in after the lower wristband section broke after about five to seven years of use. I did not expect much; to my surprise, it's still running. Accuracy was not this watch's strong suit, noting that it was about a half hour ahead of the current time (even probably after originally setting it five minutes ahead per a longstanding habit).
This was the last in a series of mostly cheap Casio digital wristwatches I owned over the decades, before deciding to splurge on an Apple Watch to replace this one.
La vida es como un piano. Las teclas blancas son momentos felices y las negras son momentos tristes. Ambas teclas se tocan juntas para darnos la dulce música llamada Vida...
improvised with an artificial white light...works well on products. I needed a quick shutter because i held the canon one handed while i held the light over the right side of watch. This little light found a home in my camera bag!
Wristwatch, shockproof and waterproof. Has radio receiver (time to the second) and solar panels (to charge the battery).

Casio GWX-5600WA-7JF. What kind of hours we did not have. I remember how my grandfather gave me the Victory Clock. At school there was a Rocket. Then there were electronic Casio - now this line is called Vintage. Friends went to such with a calculator. Like in the movie Back to the Future. For some reason unknown to me, he returned to mechanics again for several years. Omega “Horses” - very beautiful and subtle, but their accuracy did not fit in my head - 30-40 seconds a day ... Certina - heavy and shiny ... Experts told me that all this is not right ... But I always recalled the old Casio ... And then one day, when on the set of the next plot, the battery of the camera, camera and my phone ran out in the cold ... The sky was gray and the sun was not visible ...
There were only trees around. Suddenly, awareness of the need to measure the time of day has come! Remembering the mechanics necessary for correction every day, its weight and the feeling that you have a piece of iron hanging on your hand (athletes understand me), as well as a passion for sea waves and sail, there were not many options ... Almost 40-year-old Casio history It contained so many legendary scenes from films that the release of a series of surfers several years ago at the same time inspired many to adventure and challenged engineers. Judge for yourself to fit in a 56 grams airtight mechanism, ready to dive with scuba gear up to 20 bar, powered by the light of the Sun (and even ordinary lamps), showing the phases of the moon, statistics of wave values in dozens of cities in the world. Displaying the time of almost all belts. Not to mention a few timers (including special ones) and different stopwatch and a bunch of alarms for those who wake up or forget ... It is no coincidence that the 5600 and 5000 series have come such a long way since the beginning of production in the early 80's. Perhaps this also has psychological hidden aspects of perception, but for me it is not so important! It is also surprising that my grandfather, who lived for almost a century, removing old mechanics from his hands, wore digital Electronics until his last days from the beginning of the 80s. And he understood many issues better than many, including me ... # Casio GWX-5600WA-7JF #casio #casiogshock #casiooriginal #casiowatches
