Mind sharing some of your set-up. Did you use a dedicated Macro Lens?

Yes. Canon 100mm Macro lens. I also used an off camera flash, some carbonated water from a squirt bottle and a black backdrop to absorb the light. The white balance was set to Daylight in RAW mode.

I set the flash just inches away from the watch on it's lowest power setting. The closer the light source, the lower the lighting DOF or the faster the light fall off.

Looking at these again, I think #3 could use a little more exposure. They also look a lot better on my Flickr page in the original format. Photobucket isn't the best host site.

Better quality bubbles. Read about it on a Macro site some time ago.
