Thanks guys, glad you like it!

 

This is a great photo. Was it taken with some incredibly sophisticated camera with a light box, slow shutter speed and a tripod, or is there any hope for me using my point and shoot?

 

I did use a light box, but it was a really basic (40 euros or so) one. To get an idea of how unsophisticated things were, I took the photo using my girlfriend's phone (her Samsung S3 takes better pics than my "go to camera" - Samsung S3 mini :)) )

Here are some pics with my Omega Broad Arrow Replica '57 together with my Montblanc John Lennon:












This time I was too lazy to set up the light box, I just took advantage of the fading natural light :) .

149 and my favorite skagen

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

-Squadron Leader K. G. Holland, RAF. WWII China.
