    Most of the time, this classic layout is "forced" by the makers who will set at
    the top centre their logo or name which are well framed by a 10:10 layout or,
    like here, the complex face of the watch is too crowded to consider any alter-
    native.

    The ideal scenario for this shot should have been 10:10 but my son remembered,
    from my explanation, the wide "V" shape and did the opposite: 13:49.

    Yes I did. Thank you.

    ***

    For clarity and expressed as a better compiled senetence, the original question that I had in my head was:

    "If the hands were set purposefully, why are the minute and the second hands reversed from the more traditional postion (10:10)."


    And, thank you, as you've answered that.

    [QUOTE=William W;454187]"If the hands were set purposefully, why are the minute and the second hands reversed from the more traditional postion (10:10)."

    Again, I guess you mean the hour and minute hands?

    Did he view the image on a monitor and then focus and trip the camera via the video. At least on a Canon, that is the easiest way to shoot focus stacked images; especially large numbers of images...

    Great image and good looking son. We won't tell his mom that you refused to admit she was beautiful

    BTW: I learn something new every day! I didn't realize that there was a standard setting for the hands of a watch in a photograph. However, I can see the rational regarding balance. Now the big question: How do you balance a watch with a digital readout.

    My workflow is a tethered camera and all execution parameter are Mac
    software controlled: focus, exposition, exposition mode, etc but every-
    thing is on "Manual" except AF (remotely operated by the MAC).

    She used to say that I got so stupid because I gave all my brains to the kids! ;-)
