Hi guys,
so I got this one from a bud who wanted a couple of shots of his brand new SLA043. Honestly I never look at these models before since they are a bit on a small side for my wrist, but once I took a peek trough my lens, it's clear where the extra money is going at. The click from the bezel, buttery smooth functions of 8L35 and that brushed finish from the sides...it's just fantastic. I know it's not Grand Seiko level of finish, but close enough.
Anyway, enough me rambling, here are some shots.
Thanx for watching.

Well I know I'm biased as I recently bought one of these but your photos are superb! Many thanks for sharing (I will be forwarding to my Dad who is a photographer and always enjoys seeing great pics)
Superb.
You are a very talented watch photographer Nono.
Cheers,
Ben

Awesome shots. Now, if I can have some of my SLA039, that would be great! ;)
You,sir are an artist! Lovely pics. Pleasure to enjoy your work here and on IG
Very impressed, very very impressed.
Wow, stunned by your comments, thank you all
Thank you, and let me know what your Dad says. It's always nice to hear some tips from a pro.
Thank you Ben. It's all coming down from love for watches. Give me a car or chair to photograph, and I would look like a idiot :)
Auuu, the Marinemaster? Now that I would love to shot. Send it over, I'll send it back as soon as I'm done, I promise
Thank you Rajen. And thanx for the follow on IG, I know these shots seem outdated because you have seen them before on my feed.
Great work! Apologies if you've answered this on another thread but what do you use to take the close ups of the watch?
Great photos … worth a bump.
Wow, even I forgot about this thread. Thanx man!

Great photos of a great watch.
Lovely as they are though, I preferred the lesser SPB143 and now the SPB297.
Great pics.
If you want to try with a SL017 or SLA033 let me know.
Not far from you :)
Amazing photos. What’s your IG username? Would like to see more of your work.
Thanx man. You sure? Cause I'm from Croatia :)
Thank you Harry. My IG username is https://www.instagram.com/portalsatova/

Fantastic photos of a very nice watch.
Stunning as ever. Some fantastic images there.

Stunning images. How do you keep the depth of field deep enough with a macro lens? I've got a sigma 105 f2:8 macro and the depth of field is tiny even at F16!
Stunning photographs, so well composed.
Thanx. Well some of these images were shot at F22, so basically, the lens did all the work. On some shots I use photo stacking to make them even sharper, but I didn't use that on this set. Plain, out of the camera and tiny corrections in LR.
Thank you Neil
how much extra lighting are you using at f22? must be fairly powerful, or off camera flash ?
Thanks
I always prefer static halogen light, I can see right there the results I'm gonna get out of the camera. I don't use nothing too powerful, something like 60W bulb, 5000k and a difusion material on it to get that soft light. As a reflector, on some cases a LED panel or even better, a piece of paper will do the trick. Metal surfaces can reflect pretty good
