Having just seen some beautiful photos of gemstones - yes I mean you GemRite, and you Zeolite!
Spill the beans, how are you getting such fabulous shots.
I can spend hours messing about with a light-tent, diffusers and bouncy flashes and can''t get anything that does enough justice to my stones (or their suppliers) to want to post them!
I''m using a Canon Rebel xti and have macro (with macro flash) normal and zoom lenses and various other bits of kit (all ''borrowed'' off my husband), so it''s definitely me and not the kit that is going wrong. I can focuse them fine, but can''t get the stones looking clean or avoiding reflection off some of the facets.
Any handy hints or full instructions gratefully recieved - I have googled away and not really found a lot of help.
