Mark's Videos...

I use one of those lab ring lights - you know, the ones with a big magnifier in the middle!

I removed the magnifying glass and this allows me to point my camera through it (suspended on a tripod).

I use a 60mm canon macro lens for the close up stuff.

And a regular telephoto lens for regular shots. 

The camera is a Canon 600d

For the voiceover I was using a BlueYeti but I just invested in a Rode NTG-2 as the yeti is picking up too much noise, I am hoping the NTG-2 will allow me to do less noise removal in the future.

It's pretty ace stuff Mark!! - I can get pretty decent Macro shots from my old Olympus DSR. Lighting is always the main issue :(

 

Lighting with macro photography is always a concern. The ring light is very handy.

If a man holding a gun asks me to do a "watch repair for beginners" course then I will listen :D

 

Just kidding - welcome to the forum Puranjay.

 

​I have been working very hard on something very exciting and I am tapping into my wife's skills as a qualified teacher - but I am not saying anything more than that yet.

    • No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!  
    • its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower
    • Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...
    • does anyone knows what type of battery this digital Watch takes?  
    • Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
