I feel like I do this a lot..

What do you think about these?

I was just messing around with my new camera and a big flash I have that I can finally use because Sony cameras use a KM hot shoe..

Edit:

i dont get it
you think youve just ruined those photo editin them?
i dont think so btw

When I look at them... I don't see anything I don't like about the edit.

my complaints are greater against the photos than against the edit

Then start complaining.

gj on light glares, the reflective substance on the watch, etc.

I would create a greater natural shadow, however, and change the angle a bit. As ads for products, these images don't appeal to me.

I wanna know how you would possibly get rid of the light glares on the watch. It's like telling someone to make a mirror stop reflecting light.

I think that a POL filter would do the trick.

Hmm.. My polarized sunglasses don't. >.<

Large, soft lighting. Big soft box or large diffuser. Tracing paper is a cheap way. Double it up to get the light softer.

Make sure the item is clean. Any oils or grease will increase the harsh reflection.

Play around with the position of the light to change the way the light bounces off the object.

Edit:

The "post processing" just looks like you've fucked up the white balance lol
