In retrospect I should have used my D5500 instead of the D500 for this set. To get these shots I had my tripod set up slightly to my front right, with the camera basically butted up against my right ear and tilted down. I had to wrap my right arm around the center column to get my right hand with the loupe into the shot. That meant I couldn't lean back and see the live view screen. If I'd had the D5500's full articulated screen this would have gone much easier.Because I couldn't see the LV screen, I put the camera in intervalometer mode and had it take 15 shots, one second apart, each time I hit the shutter. In each 15 set group I moved the watch and loupe back and forth, figuring one of the shots should come out in focus through sheer luck. I was in AF-F, group.My assistant, whilst erstwhile, added a good hour to the shoot. I eventually got him to stretch out and sleep just outside the shot. He's stretched out just above the top border of the pics. He made a better ambient light blocker than assistant.
