Product photography (second try).

Thanks for the useful tips.
I'm surely going to use them

I did this one with your tips.
I think the reflections are better, the light is controlled, but I get dark images all the time - I have to bump the exposure and zoomed in I can see a little grain.
I definitely need some bulbs to light the scene...
I will try with two led lamps (gotta buy two cheap ones, just for the learning phase

).

Don't forget about the hand placement.
In that pic your minute hand is covering the date window.

I looked back at some of my watch pics .. basically I need to redo them .. they are bad now that I look at them. As I mentioned you are beyond me when I first started. I also would use cardboard and other stuff that you don't see in the band to shape it the way I wanted. And little pieces of rubber to prevent it from rolling. I see how you used the clasps to keep it standing.

But on complex watches such a Festina TourdeFrance watch which has multiple dials and such I had to make sure that the hands didn't cover any thing important on the face.

Yes, but I'm currently only studying the light

When I do the "final work" it will be with more care...

There's three more attempts on this.

And no more product photography until I have a proper box and some lights.

Just try calming down. The important thing here is obviously ISO. Okay? Also, the background? To be sure, read up on this. I applaud you, but don't think for one minute you are fooling me.
