this lume foto business. Thanks to great advice and tips from you guys, I pulled off what I consider my best lume shots to date, which are, appropriately, of my 8928.

I have tried and all I get is a blurr of lume, it ends up looking like those fake UFO pictures.

Great pics. Do you use a tripod when taking the pics?

Yeah I want to know that too! I cant hold the camera still for crap...Maybe it's nerves thinking about the grief I'm gonna get from my wife when I purchase some new watches!

I always lie the camera on a hard surface... charge the lume for 10-15 seconds.. turn up the exposure on the camera to the max, change to macro mode, turn down iso, and shoot!

No, don't want to spend my money on a tripod when there are still watches to be acquired!:biggrin: In this case, I rested the camera on the edge of my dresser, where the shots were taken. I also turned off the flash on my digital camera. Then I used my Mag light to charge the lume on the watch for about 10 seconds or so, turned the Mag light off and Click!

Now theres something I didn't think about. I have a 1.5 million candle powered spot light. I'll bet that will get the lume going real good.
@ nick, do you find on your reserve speedy that the lume on the hands is somewhat difficult to see at night? I am talking just with normal wear not when you are doing a lume shot and you charge it up. I have no problems with the lume on the bezel, it glows really well but the hands just don't. Maybe when I have the dial changed I can get him to apply a different grade of lume on the hands.
