The strap on my new Tevise 629 watch needed shortening and rather than taking it to the local horologist I decided to do it myself. After an online search it became clear one needs a watch repair tool kit to complete this task. It also became clear said kits are not available to buy online. After viewing howto YouTube videos I tried it myself. It worked by simply pushing the connecting pins out using a pushpin. The trick was to be certain there is space underneath the watch band for the pin to be released as it is pushed. Try it. It works.
I just took delivery of this {used ~ from KEH} Sony 90mm macro so I wanted to try it out....this is not really a macro shot but I had read that the Kelce brothers were going to get their own branded junk super sugar cereal. I love using food packaging as backdrops and some of these items are so iconic. Unfortunately, wokesters are killing some great brands like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's rice so I bought boxes of those before they got rebranded. I am sure someday someone is going to be offended by Tony the Tiger but I think he is greeeeeeaaaaat!

Sure it's a cheaper automatic watch than most but it's a beautiful and classic piece to look at especially with the domed glass :)
A single YN-560 speedlite was used connected via RF-602 wireless kit. position of the speedlite was 5 o-clock to the frame and head was bounced off a wall.

Man, this is turning into one of my top 5 watches...hard to get if off my wrist but it might be just because the colorway is perfect for the holidays! Another tabletop comp.
An Omega Speedmaster from the batch that went to the moon (we think, based on serial numbers). Lit with one SB600 from top left, one from top right. Equal fill, both behind diffuser panels. Triggered by SB800 on D200
If you are suffering from G.A.S. with a quiver of camera gear, then you are probably are familiar with the very innovative Chinese lens company Venus Lens aka Laowa. They come up with some very "CREATIVE" lenses and high quality and fairly affordable. So, a couple of years ago I picked up this 15mm f4.0 MACRO??!! Ultra wide angle and macro is like drinking gin and strawberry milk!
So, until today, I have only used the lens once because it is a weird application. I would not really use it for tabletop because my setting is very confined and not suitable for an ultra wide angle. We are getting a last burst of summer and so I think it was about 108º this afternoon and once I finished my bike ride I have been wanting to experiment with my surf housing and this wide angle lens mounted on a tripod in the pool to capture watches dropping into the water. I tried a variety of shots but mostly somehow there were big dust bunnies either on my sensor or the lens and it really killed all the shots.
But, then I just went for still shots and I get it. A different perspective for sure.
This shot I brought in Photoshop for some Adobe Firefly seasoning.
Some more great photo props today. On Etsy I found this shop that sells like 50 sheets of various types of paper with actual chinese and japanese writing making for a great base for my Chinese watches...
Strobist: pair of SB600s from left and top back, equal fill. Through diffuser. Triggered by SB900 on D3
47mm submersible wristwatch from Officine Panerai. The case is made of carbon fiber.
Light: Elinchrom ELC1000 through diffuser above camera. Nikon SB900 at background. Nikon SB900 at white cardboard on the left of the watch. Nikon D800E / Nikkor 105mm micro. Triggered with skyport, SB900's in slave mode.
In this shot there is a flash mob taking place (behind the clock) hence the large crowds.
The clock was designed and built by Rowland Emett and completed in February 1973. The clock has since been moved to a location on the upper floor of the shopping mall.
On assignment again - in the very odd position of not only having shot official images of the boutique, but also the images *in* the boutique. Maitres du Temps boutique, Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur
Latest budget price purchase. Had my eye on this for a while. Came up on special , so I jumped on it. 44mm case, ECO DRIVE (SOLAR) & very comfortable strap.
It took awhile before I could convince myself to pull the trigger on this one. I've been interested in Journe since 2016 and have been finding a way into ownership since 2019.
The Élégante made the most sense; okay -- a quartz movement, but also the most affordable Journe and wears sporty, suiting my profile better. First introduced in 2014, the Élégante 40 was produced as a women's watch. However, FPJ found huge demand for a men's size variant and in 2016 the Élégante 48 was born.
However, when FPJ decided to introduce the Élégante 48 Titalyt in 2019, prices slowly began to soar.
For those wondering, the Élégante 48 Titanium and Élégante 48 Titalyt have the same retail price.

Considering there are currently no boutiques or ADs in Malaysia (closest AD in SG and TH, closest boutique in HK and JP), it was quite a risk for me to take the plunge. But I do enjoy the watch and, it may sound weird, this is my proudest acquisition.
This one's too thick to fit under a cuff, so off it goes to the chopping board.
