I've become a fan of B/W photography lately. Removing the color gives room for the story of the photo. I wonder how it works for watch photography. Does it stipulate the beauty of the watch or not? Looking at Kristoffer's photos I am inclined to conclude: yes.
It would be great to get an long list of posts with pictures of your watch(es) in B/W. Here is mine.
I am really looking forward to yours!
Best wishes, Peter
hi peter great idea. black and white certainly helps amplify the exquisite detailing in a da vinci chronograph.

I love B&W. Very nice submissions so far. Here's my latest.
Thanks for the idea Peter, here are two pictures from my beloved Ingenieur 322701 I converted to B&W:
Do you actually shoot in B&W? I haven't checked if my camera has this option.
Kind regards,
Clemens
Clemens - in reality, "shooting in b&w" means that the camera will do the conversion. The sensor is capturing rgb data - any b&w is a conversion. My feeling is that it's better to use software to do the conversion after the fact than to have the camera do it in real-time.
Very nice shots of your Inge.
Thanks David. That's what I did with these pictures.
Kind regards,

my 3741 is often regarded as a girl´s watch
