The above image was a test shot for my Vivitar Macro Close up Adapter that I screw on to the Nikon 50mm f / 1.8 lens to get a much closer focusing distance of less than half an inch in some cases. A lot of watch close ups try to get the whole watch face sharp but that wasn’t my aim here. I was going for the edges of the face being blurred but the watch hands to be as sharp as possible in the centre of the face. Overall I think I achieve this. The watch isn’t mine, it belongs to my friend Tom at University.
