A. Lange & Söhne

Greetings to all!  I recently had the opportunity to photograph a good friend's recently-acquired Cabaret -- in this case, the relatively rare PT version with black dial and black date background.  Under the tutelage of photographic wizard Ming Thein, I've been trying out some new techniques, most recently aimed at using combinations of light and depth of field to create richer images.

Let's start with some fairly conventional views of this piece:

The movement-side shots are all pretty conventional, but do, I think, give a real sense for how nice the German Silver movement looks in the PT case:

Finally, a couple of artsy attempts using a pinpoint light on the crown:

All for now!  Hope you enjoyed these -- as always, all comments welcomed.

Best,

Gary G
