[QUOTE="marce, post: 87345, member: 10684"] I would play with some matt backgounds, firstly a matt white and a matt black to see what the shots look like at the extremes. Lighting is the fun part, I've finally got of camera flash and two sources of light, the extra choice and control it gives as been one of my biggest steps in controll over both macro shots (flowers mainly, they are cheap and dont move like insects) and portrait shots. So I'd play with the lighting, possibly look at single white LED sources, can be bought as cheap torches and quite a focused output so you could set up the GEM and shine light from different loctaions to try an light them from inside. Whith a broader/or focued external light to provide some highlights. [/QUOTE]
