[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 266324, member: 2976"] Thanks Mr Magoo. I've heard a lot of tips but I've never really gotten round to trying them all out. My camera seems unable to perceive the stone the way the eye sees it. At a distance it comes reasonabley close but then the stone is too far away in the photo. Any attempt to zoom in - even the tiniest amount - immediately causes the camera to ignore the central object and focus only on the background. Move the camera physically close enough and it blocks the light. You can direct light on it from any other angle but the camera simply does not see it the way the eye sees it. I finished this little sapphire this morning, from a mate's old lease at Reward (same bloke who did the kookaburra shell). It's a little parti, a light, bright green-yellow with a flash of blue - it's a very brightly coloured, brilliantly reflective stone to my eye but the camera sees it as dull blackish green. This is the best photo I could get of it... [img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8715/28717030921_cda3bae09a_c.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
