Here's a Casio Super Illuminator using one of the paper backgrounds from Michael's"
And here's a shot of the LED illumination system on the above Casio; just a quick shot in the dark:
This is a pic of a watch I "created" from Timex parts and installed a new Chinese automatic; the case is a 1979 all stainless steel; dial is Great Britain; I also manipulated the lighting effect with the GIMP program:
Here's another with a paper background from Michaels; the Seiko "Orange Monster" on the sand dunes of a beach:
And a rainbow background of this Timex "Solor" Shock watch, I used Picasa soft focus to blur the background:
A little B&W 1930's retro action on this "Curvex" style watch:
That's 'nuff for now. Yes, Mike, I use two graphic manipulation programs; first the GIMP program which comes with Linux by default. (I use the Linux operating system exclusively) I also use the Google Picasa program, which is great for cleaning up color corrections; sharpness; contrast; lighting, etc.
I try to use as little graphic manipulation as possible. But, I want the watches to show true colors, etc.
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, let me know.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Cheers,
Ed
