Based on what we have so far from you and Hannes... We'll need it! And that is GREAT!! We have the best photographers on the web here.

Wow!!

just to help fill out the entry list. I'll try to do something a little more creative when I have some extra time. An appropriate title here might be ... "Caseback Mountain" . (NOT a sequel. LOL.)
Cheers,

Going over the (gorgeous!) pics enterrd on the Rolex and Omega photo comtests, it appears that quite a few are "composition" pics but I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about. LOL. Would you please explain and clarify the no composition rule in the Breitling contest, please? For example, I shot these pics (old cheap Kodak!) a couple of years ago by posing the watches on top of some of my aviation library photos. Are these "compositions" and against the rules if I were to have entered them? Thanks for your input. Cheers,
Ron

your entries are OK.
I was talking about compositions made in photoshop/paintshop pro/gimp etc.
Example: The Lancer bomber/Breitling B2 wallpaper posted earlier last week: that was not ONE photograph, but several photographs mixed together in imaging software.

Hope this clears up.

PS. The Omega competition was without restrictions. Photoshop was allowed there.

entering those earlier shots. Since we're limited to three entries my first was the "Caseback Mountain" shot on another post and here are my next two...
Love the beauty of the Lemania but you gotta appreciate the added functionality of the ETA as well. Call these two "Beauty and the Beast" 1 & 2 .
Cheers,
Ron

I've already exceeded my 3 pic limit so this one doesn't count. I just wanted to post it here with some of the others anyway cuz I just like it. Her watch is always a bit difficult for me to shoot mainly because I have to pry it off her arm with a chainsaw. ;D Cheers,
Ron

as to which 3 to enter for the Breitling photo contest. I had two B1 pics that are every bit as nice as these three IMHO but I had posted them on the forum before I took notice of the contest so I had to disqualify them. Anyway, please consider these 3 to be my official entries. Thanks. Cheers,
Ron


"Old Navitimer" My first Breitling - 1990 two tone Caliber 13...


"Beauty and the Beast" . Breitling Cosmonautes - Lemania Display Back and ETA Flyback...
