As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Show 'em, Illuminated Dials - No Lume

Post by PetWatch »

Any self contained light source. No external light source. There's another thread for lume shots.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Braun Prestige Digital.

This was nearly impossible to take by myself.
The illumination seems to last less than 2 seconds.

Yep. I've wondered how to get these shots.

Using a tripod is one option, but I still need three hands unless I put the watch in my vise.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

Camera app open and at the ready.
Strong press on illuminating button with ring finger.
Camera held with thumb and middle finger.
Take pic with index.
Try it 20-30 times until you get one that's useable.

These shots can be tricky when you can't adjust illumination time. Being able to brace part of the phone on something or even against your body helps. Timer should help, haven't tried it yet.

Really cool! Especially the last one, perfect lume-illumination visible combo.
