Pics and more rambles

Jewelry is difficult to photograph, to the point that people who make jewelry sometimes pay someone else to photograph it.
I have picked up a few pointers from reading on the topic...
- You are to photograph all of your pieces "on" a form...like a bust, or a neck form...not flat. I don't own a form but it sounds like a good investment, if you wanted to sell your pieces online.
- Flash is bad. It bounces off your shiny beads and is a general pain in the butt. Try turning the flash off.
- Direct lighting is almost as bad as flash! That explains why my previous citrine pictures were so bad. I played around with the top two pictures, trying to reduce the direct light (to the point that I stood in between the indirect light to block out more of it).
- You should always use your "macro" button on your digicam (the flower icon one). And carefully "focus" (hold the shoot button down halfway) before taking the pic.
