As for the year 2005, I am pleased to publish here a selection of more than 800
pictures taken along the year 2006. They are mostly related to my discovery of watches as a
hobby and are presented here in about 138 pages. Watches are a mini-testimony of the human adventures that they have
accompanied, and they will accompany, still, for long times. Pictures
are neither annotated, nor classified more than by their chronology.
Please refer to the watchuseek
and forumamontres (in French) fora posts and galleries by "marc_wl" for
explanations and contexts, or theauthor's
blog (not well maintained). They were all taken using ambient lights (not flash light)
using a 5Mpixels cameras Minolta Dimage
7i, A200 or Dynax 5D . They were processed using the GIMP software operating on aLINUX
computer,
free of any
commercial licences. Images were automatically resized to a maximum
size of 1024x768 pixels using the routine web-album preparation (gThumb software 2.7.8). I will be
pleased to provide the original files at high resolution (usually
1600x1200 or higher) for any wanted illustrations.
