    Your laughable/worst photo you have taken of a watch>>>>>

    I was looking through some watches from my picture files and came across this dire attempt at a photoshoot of my then current Speedmaster, trying to follow on from the moon landing thing, I decided that a scrunched up bit of tinfoil, on a flat tinfoil background would be the answer, I then took 30 odd photo's before realizing that, 1) it looked stupid, 2) I am no photographer,

    have you got any dire watch shots?

    rules: this is not a place for LTF or Jocke, so no 'bad' photo's from you (although feel free to browse), as your worst will be better than most of our good shots ;-)

    here's mine, this is as good as it gets from me.

    Wondering why people with no interest in watches are on a watch forum?

    Isn't it quicker to just look on SC or eBay for bad pics??!!!

    Back on thread, I have taken some bloody awful watch pics but always deleted them to save space so there is no embarrassing evidence.



    I've kept this one...


    Cheers,

    If you concentrate you'll see that there is a watch there - right in the middle.

    I post my worst pictures each week in the Friday thread 😉

    I can imagine if I suggested taking a photo of one of my watches wedged in between MrsTriumphCoupe that I'd get a beat around the head with a spurtle!

    Didn't really suggest it as such just crammed the watch in and took the snap.

    Lucky enough the Mrs is a good sport.

    BTW What's a spurtle?
    Cheers,

    Agreed, a Watch on a floating Wine Bottle with some fungal toe nail in the background wins hands down here! :)

    I normally delete the really bad ones but this one is particularly dull:

    I know the feeling, but as long as I keep my spurtle clean then it's all good!

    These pictures are getting more and more revealing. This is a worrying trend.

    Actually this thread has given me a jolly good laugh.

    We are used to seeing perfect pics of watches nowadays and to see quite the opposite is a tonic.

    Kudos to SD for the idea.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Another shot of a Speedmaster, this is my Second one that is also no longer with me, trying to catch the time as the fireworks went off at New Year, very drunk of course.
