Anyone Help me with Nikon D3100 + Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 DI MACRO for taking jewelle

Hello everybody :
I bought Nikon D3100 With its 18-55 VR lens , and I also bought a ( Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro ) I’m not a professional photographer , I’m going to start a jewellery business, so i need your help, Can you please tell me when i want take a picture of RINGS so what ISO, aperture and Shutter speed i have to select ? and about light , i have bought a plastic photographing light box, , and if i take picture in day light so about 1:00 Pm so what will setting ?

Well, I'm sorry I won't be answering your question fully because I'm out of magic potion.
I think you will have to start by learning the basics of photography. There are plenty of tutorials out there on Youtube and other sites, read your camera's user manual, and, mostly, experiment with the different settings.

Your question is just impossible to answer. It's like if someone tells you "hey, I just bought a car, can you tell me how to drive?"

There is a learning curve that you will have to go through. We can probably help along the way, but you have to do your part.

hahah , i know little bit about that things but i just need What will ISO, aperture AND SHUTTER SPEED BEST FOR MACRO ( MICRO ) PHOTOGRAPHY , I need to learn it for take RINGS PICTURES ?

To be honest, take a few sample pictures first, then play around with the settings.

There will never be a one setting fits all - you say at 13:00, but at 13:00 on a summers day is completely different to 13:00 on a winters day.
The beauty of a digital camera - it doesn't cost you anything to take some pictures, adjust settings and take more pictures (aside from your time of course).

As Marcel said, read the manuals though, have a look at tutorials etc.
Jewellery is always very special - depending on what affect you're after will affect how you photograph it too.

Paste some samples on here too - that's when we can maybe provide some critique and help

yes you are right , here is some picture i was take in Day time



In day the result is good but when i take picture inside photo box ( plastic photography box ) so result is very bad not so great as shown in this pictures ? by he way this pictures are fine or not ?
they dnt look professional right ?

First thing you need is a sturdy tripod. Do you have one you can use?

Shoot at the lowest ISO that you can get away with.

Sort of sounds like a flippant answer, but it is accurate.

Everything depends on the relationship with all of the other elements involved in the composition. Light, shadows, distance, aperture, shutter speed etc.

There is no magic settings of one setting fits all settings.

Trail and error until you find the ---- WOW!

Oh my god how much money i have to spend for only great pictures, Buy d3100 at 450$ then temron 90mm macro lens at 399$ and now tripod

I'm going to make a few suggestions:

1) Take the date stamp off your pics
2) Invest in something like this; http://www.mwacrylic.com/photo/orig...ble-acrylic-ring-display-standholderspike.jpg
or http://www.mwacrylic.com/photo/orig...inger-ringdie-walkure-display-standholder.jpg
or even http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/4...ring-holder-white-black-11-6-18cm-jewelry.jpg
It will give a much more professional look, and don't photograph outside where background foilage etc will distract away from your jewellery.
3) Use the photo box you have - you may need to use a flash or something, and to be honest I don't think you will have needed a dedicated macro lens just yet - the 18-55 might have sufficed.
4) Tripod will be very useful to get the same angle of shot for different items as you take pictures of them.

I'm sorry, but if I saw your current photographs for jewellery, yes I would think very unprofessional

haha yes i know these pics are not very Bad , oh but i bught a tamron 90mm macro lens well i use both for take picture and post here , now i have to buy a new tripod , i will post picture here today , thank you for your help Sam !!!
