[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 480761, member: 10447"] Lighting is the key to getting good shots. You need good diffused light on your subject. You can either use continuos lighting with a light tent or light box, or use flash with diffusers and reflectors . I use a homemade light box with diffusers inside to soften the light, others say flash or strobe is better, it depends what you already have I suppose. Youtube is a good place to get ideas for this kind of work , search for "small product photography" and "jewellery photography" or click on this - [URL]https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jewellery+photography[/URL] Settings to get you started are , put your camera in aperture priority, f16 , iso100, you will need a tripod and use a remote shutter release, or the 3 second shutter delay on your camera. It is also best to do a custom white balance for your lighting set-up, it will save you time when post processing your photos.
