Bokeh shots

[Kramer]

agreed, bokeh is just one aspect of composition. there are many other aspects of composition and lighting as well

here's a guide to taking photos of watches which i have found very useful: http://thirtyfivemill.com/photographing-watches/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for all the suggestion and tips!

Will be trying my hand out on photography once I squeeze out some time!

Very nice! Will try other shots and see how it goes, but my cam not low light friendly...

Not low light friendly, no problem.
You can use a tripod or rest the cam on a sturdy base.
Manual focus and use self-timer to avoid camera shake.
Happy shooting bro

Phone cameras are great tools for busy people. You can shoot and practise anytime, anywhere.

When using HP and compact cameras, try to use the macro mode as most of the time we want to get a bigger picture of the watch. In this way, you can focus closer and get some background blur out of it.

Focus is off, but other than that, I like it

Tried another shot today. Didn't manage to get the right colours out. It's tough trying to find good lighting, position and background Will try a day shot over the weekend.

I think I ended up with a macro instead of a bokeh shot...

since you have some blurred areas in your photo, technically you have bokeh. bokeh is actually the quality of the blurred part of your photo. loosely speaking what you have there can be called a "bokeh shot" too.

we're not in clubsnap after all.
