Here are some watches I recently shot for a client who sells on ebay. He specifically asked for photos that were realistic looking but professional *whatever that means*. I used my two studio heads with large softboxes and combined with my sb800 to shoot most of these.
The Navitimer is worth something like $4000. The other two watches were worth around a grand each.
Last night I made the tough realization that I need to sell off ALL of my 4x5 stuff :( I just haven't been doing any large format stuff lately and being a starving 24 year old that basically eats crap for camera equipment, I've decided to cut down my kit. Plus the cost for 4x5 e6 development is like $2-$3 a shot!
And since I converted my darkroom into a digital printing/matting room/office, I figured I'd ditch film all together.
In preparation for the online auctions I'll be putting together, I did some nice product shots of the equipment. Below is my 180mm APO Rodenstock lens.
Basically, I've got two strobes through softboxes on either side of the lens, which is sitting on a clear piece of glass I borrowed from a frame. The glass is on top of black velvet. To give a really nice clean specular, I placed some foamcore behind the lens and shot a speedlight into it.
I will soon post a complete list of all the stuff I'm going to sell including some Nikon lenses (not large format), for now, heres a quick list of stuff, PM me if you are interested and I'll set up an eBay auction for you.:
