your DOF too shallow and angulation seems weird...u shld go read abt rolex 10:10 position to shoot..

if you want to use such a shallow DOF u need tripod and shuttle release. in fact most macro shoots are done with tripod. may also need some flash to compensate for higher shuttle speed if u want to shoot handheld.

VR is useless if u are using nikon with a 105VR lens at short focusing length even canon's new HIS is only effective up to 2 stops if i remember correctly

Hey, thank you for your advice. Can you tell me more about the Rolex 10:10 position? I can't seems to find it in Google.

Thinking of getting a tripod soon

Means adjusting the watch time to 10.10pm or am when doing the shot. Date shd adjust to 28. Very common photo taking tip on watches.

So that the hands won't block the brand name, description, etc. Saw somewhere got explain why do it this way, forgot which website thou.

But why date better adjusted to 28, no idea. Some bros here care to explain?

The date set to 28 i never hear before but yes 1010 so can see the empbasis on rolex. U can take a look at some of rolex own ad. The needle etc second hand positioning has its aesthetic purpose.not easy cause the bloody watch will keep moving.i tried but not successful. U want to do really gd shots need to control your surrounding light. Can try shooting inside a tent etc.
I saw your post on Clubsnap. There are some brothers who did some product shoot before. The set up is def more than just handheld a cam and shoot. Your onboard flash is useless. Need to think of bounce flash. I'm sure some bro here can give a better advise.
