Topics Covered:
- Setting the main light

Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
The tripod was placed in position with camera attached so that the camera points down on the watch at an angle of about 45 degrees.
We rotated our camera to shoot from the vertical or "portrait" mode. |
 Figure 2 |
Position the Starlite on the left side of the watch about 8 inches away. |
 Figure 3 |
This shot shows an exposure made with only the main light set-up. |
 Figure 4 |
We positioned the second Starlite to light the other side of the watch. This light will brighten the shadows and show more details in the watch. |
 Figure 5 |
Our second light is positioned higher and a little farther from the watch than the first light. |
 Figure 6 |
Notice how the second light brings out the detail in the watch face and stem. |
