This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
May 8, 2008: Day 6. I was browsing through the Strobist site and found a remarkable gallery of watch photography by Ming Thein. Impressive. Inspiring.
With only an hour of free time tonight, I concocted this setup in my lightbox (thanks Oliver) and fired away. I applied slight saturation and contrast bumps. I have a long way to go before I've got the light down like Ming does, but I enjoyed working this subject. I sure love how much flexibility the D80's commander mode gives me.
