Description I guess I should explain the title of this photo. It relates to a couple of things actually. First of all, after having a wonderful Nikon Coolpix 990 for just over 2 years, today I took the 10,000th photo since we got it! It has served very well and has been all over the place... And it has taught me plenty about photography along the way. Still a long way to go though.

When I realised the 10,000th photo was coming up, I thought I should try to make it a special shot. I'd been thinking it would be cool to do some macro shots of my watch sometime so this seemed like the perfect time. I set it all up and captured my watch and the exact moment in time of the 10,000th photo. I wish I'd taken the shot a couple of seconds earlier so it looks a bit neater... oh well.

All this might sound a bit weird but that's just me

The photo itself is one of my first attempts a studio type shots. Still working out how to best do the lighting etc. All comments welcome.

Very nice composition and execution. How do you know its your ten thousandth? (I believe you, Im just curious)

As a fellow photographer, congratulations! May that camera never fail you! (Im so sad because mine from 1971 broke at the f-stop so every picture i take is more by memory of how its supposed to work than by what the light-meter says it is )

Good job, keep it coming!

sonofabitch....your pictures continue to amaze me with your clairty, composition and lighting.
amazing stuff....

i wish though the backgroud ws better. if you look at the full size image, you see some artifacts in the left bottom corner
but otherwise, quite nice.

as laways,

happy 10.000th photograph ! (what, this is not like a birthday ? oooops ! )

very nice shot, I love the composition and framing. The use of diagonals is a good choice ! I also love the lighting, it render the texture of the metal very well.
Really a good shot !
