Hi Cakmur,

Thanks for your kind words. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the article and
the pictures. You're pictures are wonderful as well! I particularly liked
the pictures of the pocket watch and of the El Primero movement.

I primarily shoot with a Nikon Coolpix 950 (digital, I only shoot digital).
I use lots of lighting filtered through a homemade light-box made of vellum.
For most of the pictures, I used two 150 watt incandescent bulbs but for a
few of the pictures of the cased watch I used two extremely powerful halogen
lamps that my girlfriend has (she is a real photographer). I took some of
those pictures with her Nikon Coolpix 5000 as well (an amazing camera but
I'm simply not as comfortable with it as I am with the 950). For some of
the close-up shots of the movement I used two magnifying lenses (Tiffen, +10
and +7 combined) and for the really close-up shots I shot through a 35x
microscope. For my next review I'm hoping to use a stereo zoom microscope
so I'll have more variability as to magnification and field of view.

I try to do as little as possible in Photoshop but typically make some
adjustment of the levels and/or brightness and contrast and almost always
use a little Unsharp Mask as well.

I hope this helps, thanks again for your note.
