Flash photography techniques
with a slow shutter
When photographing a wristwatch,
the surroundings often are reflected
in the bezel and dial, and special
techniques are needed to make the
watch look beautiful in a photo.
The angle and background must
be manipulated, and a tripod is
necessary for the perfect finish.
By lowering the shutter speed, and
mixing flash with ambient light, the
resulting shots will appear more
natural. By using flash exposure
compensation, you can achieve shots
that look exactly as you imagined
them, bringing out the true beauty of
the wristwatch.
A refined, three-
dimensional finish
There are no noticeable shadows
from the watch's second hand, and
the finely engraved markings on the
watch face are clearly captured. The
texture of the stainless steel case is
beautifully expressed in the shot.
