Hello from Atlanta
Hello from Atlanta. My name is Jim Chambers. I'm a retired civil engineer who loves to read. I've had a Kindle2 for a couple of months, and I love it. I've recently published my first book on Kindle, and the paperback should be online at Amazon in a few weeks. Besides reading and writing, I love photography, especially underwater photography, and my photographs have been published in publications like National Geographic, Popular Photography, and Parade.
I'm looking forward to meeting you folks! |

Photography? HELP! I'm trying to figure out how to photograph jewelry and gemstones. I built a small light tent, tried quite a few light sources, etc. The pic always comes out sort of grayish-yellowish or else with a big shiny glare spot. My skill level is more along the level of switching from sport to portrait settings, and deciding when to use flash. In other words, I suck. Help?

Hey, DixieGal. You're just three hours west of here.
I've never tried photographing jewelry before, but it sounds like you're on the right track with a light tent and flash. If you have a DSLR, I would recomend a 60 or 105mm macro lens stopped down to a small aperture like f/18 or smaller. Whatever camera you have, if your camera will shoot in RAW mode, you'll have a lot of latitude to adjust white balance and exposure after you shoot. Without knowing more about your camera, that's the best I can recommend. There are so many guides and tutorials online that there must be some good ones on photographing jewelry and other small objects. |
