Water Resistant

Another test today and there will be lots more tests to come ;-)

I hit a fairly major snag with tonight's shoot..........batteries.

I use rechargeable batteries 2800 or 2900 mAh and they're great.......when they are charged.

I set up this shot quickly and managed a couple of test fires and the batteries died.
Then tried every set of rechargeables in the house and they were all in the same state.

I eventually had to resort to some cheap alkaline cells I keep as backup.

So, instead of spending time finessing the shot, tweaking the lighting etc I got kinda fed up so this will have to do.


for the technically minded among you here's how it was shot.

Black acrylic as a background, sprayed with glycerine/water mix.
Watch then placed on keeping it dry.
580EXII fired through home made grid onto back wall, lined up to give a halo around the watch.
420EX through a shorter grid aimed at the watch itself, powered down slightly so as not to overpower the nice reflections on the acrylic.

hope you like it.
