Wow!!!

That is nice shot. I was thinking, how much contrast plays for product photography? what if I put a black background for the same shot?
A bad decision?

Here are a few pics of a car show held a few months back. Had taken many pics but these are a few of them -

@sujoyp - that watch must be very costly.

 

[sujoyp]

@rhitwick black background can be a good idea actually....and it would produce a good contrast too...
Actually the thing is black background should not be glossy and should not reflect light...but non-reflective black sheet looks gray in this light ...will have to find a proper sheet

@techfreak nice car shots

@dashing.sujay its not that costly ....5k only

 

[thetechfreak]

5k only

Only? I have never bought a watch costing in 4 digits!

@techfreak nice car shots

Thanks a lot

 

[dashing.sujay]

@dashing.sujay its not that costly ....5k only

5k "only"

Only? I have never bought a watch costing in 4 digits!

My highest is 2600

 

[rhitwick]

@sujoyp, velvet sheets?

 

[sujoyp]

@rhitwick I donno about velvet sheets...where can I find them stationary or cloth shop??

@thetechfreak and sujay...this is my costliest watch uptill now but I had 4 more watches costing 1.5-3k

Sujoy: Excellent product shot. Very nicely shot.

Just one processing idea- see if it works or not.

Problem:
As the subject is colour less the surrounding spill of light/ the red colour is not giving it a professional look.

Remedy:
convert the whole image to b/w.
mask the center part of the image which has colour dial.

This may be work or not.

One shot I made in my starting days, its no where near your shot, but just posting.

1. you could see some yellow colour but its the reflection of watch itself. But still could be removed.

@toofan....the red tint is coz of normal yellow bulb I have used at the top coz I didnt have any more white cfls

Will get 1 more white cfl and put it at the top..also as Im2k said I need 2 curved reflectors..like one on my table lamp already

BTW the 2 watch shot is nice

@Tenida....happy Diwali to you too

The image is out of focus

 

[jagg89]

@toofan :thats why I asked you to shoot in raw .

 

[sujoyp]

Thanks Stuge...your processed image look much better then original one

I too want to shoot in RAW and process the images but my 8 year PC take lots of time to edit and convert each image...Even 5MB JPEG file takes time in gimp

Stuge how do you focus crackers in the sky...I tried manual as well as autofocus but it was soo quick that got 2/20 in focus ....
