27th January 2015 - Tick Tock

For my mentoring group Taffy, Ruth, Rachel and Marnie. Theme Macro - man made.

This is my Grandmother's fob watch. I love to see the inside workings of these lovely old watches.

My sister says the watch was given to my Grandmother by a man who was in love with her - not my Granddad!! How very interesting!! I wish I knew more about this.

Many thanks for all your great comments and Favs on my open book shots yesterday. I enjoyed taking them and was so pleased you all liked them.

@taffy @newbank @888rachel @golftragic Rummaging around the house for something to do a macro shot of and found this old watch. There is something about the workings of an old watch that you don't get with digital watches!! Don't worry about comments if you are too busy.

what a beautiful looking watch and such details!

Can I ask what the mentoring group is?

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent shot

[Nicole]

What a beautiful watch and close up!! Love your comp!

[Anita Campbell]

Great macro. Very interesting "insides". Wouldn't it be nice if you did know the complete history of this antique?

[Maggiemae]

It looks so complicated all these workings! Fob watches are valuable nowadays!

[Newbank Lass]

Stunning. I did some shots of my pepper mill but they were bit blah.... This has wonderful clarity, sharpness and detail. Impressive and inspiring to keep trying.

[Miley]

It's a bit difficult doing genealogy searches for boy friends Pam. :-) Great macro. The lighting and background are perfect

[Lexx]

lovely detail and colour

[Leon Buijs]

Fabulous details and even lighting, - fav

[Taffy]

This is such a strong macro -- almost like science fiction when I can crawl right into the workings of the watch (wasn't there a movie like that recently?)

[Christine]

Good shot. Nice watch

[Mark Prince]

Wonderful macro, great colour.

[Lois]

Fantastic macro!

[Rachel]

I love this macro Pam! The cogs, the composition, and the history behind the watch. Fav. Will you be taking more macros of the cogs up closer? They are just lovely.

[Margaret Obey]

Great capture of the workings of the watch.

[Pam Knowler]

@888rachel thanks Rachel! I did two more shots of the watch one looking at the face and another a close up of the cogs. I love macro!

[Stephanie Swift]

Lovely clear picture of the works of this watch. Sounds as if there's an interesting story behind it.
