May 2015 Photo Competion

[Henry Krinkle]

"Celluloid"

The blackest black dial I have, the whitest white dial I have, a Leica M6 loaded with Kodak Tri-X 400 B&W film, some more Tri-X and Ilford XP2 400 in the background. The photo in the foreground is one of the most famous B&W photos of the last century, V-J Day in Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt.

This photo was taken digitally but processed in the style of pushed Tri-X film. This might have turned out more about photography.... I might have to revisit this, not a very creative idea in terms of the watch content :/

I'm not sure if it is that so much as too many ideas that would better suit a themed set of pictures rather than one single photo.

Very creative interpretation of b&w!

Here's one of my favorites in black and white. It's a full color photo of a Stowa Marine Original. It is one of a special series so rather than the typical blued steel hands, it had black painted hands.





Runner up is a photo I like because it looks like it is a black and white photo until the eyes drift over to the Partitio on the left and you realize that it is really a full color photo. It's a shame I didn't realize the focus was locked somewhere in the middle of the straps rather than anything of interest.

All right. My first choice was a shot of my Longines Heritage 1951 chronograph. It has a b&w dial / hands and it's on a black nato, anyway.

On second thoughts, guess the old omega (cal. 30T2) would be more appropriate. Please, forget the Longines and accept this pic, instead:

I have a few but this one stands out for me, trusty iPhone shot again with a white computer screen for backlighting.
Watch balanced on keyboard using blutak to keep it still.




or maybe this?




PS I'm going with the second shot for my entry.

The Black Sea..

Not sure why I bother, given the amazing photographers we've got here, and then there's me with my iPhone and no training. But what the heck, any excuse to show off the Speedy. Can't decide between these two shots, what do you think?
