You can achieve a similar effect to a black tile using a black cloth and the perspex from one of the clip frames. I used this for the shot below, one 8X10 perspex frame and black cloth. Place the cloth beneth the frame and use the remaining cloth as a backdrop.

I would have liked to see the reflection of the watch face in the tile
Nice idea though

good work tom, like Lucy said about the reflection
everything i sell on ebay get's the 'black granite' treatment for the pics. it contrasts really well and looks good with jewellery (and lenses!)
you don't have to go to the expense of granite, you could get a polished porcelain which is cheaper. i would imagine wickes have your pants down on the prices for granite too, you need to be paying no more than £3.50 per tile (305 x 305mm)

cheers . yeah i thought that aswell to be honest, thats what i didnt like about it, i think maybe where i had my flash might of jeopardized the reflection. maybe i should have done a multi exposure instead? im definitely gonna play with different things on it though could get some cool results. the tile didnt cost that much to be fair to them, it was £3 i think, the granite probably cost more though. 'just daves' idea is a goodun, i didnt think of tryin the corner shop.
